Cagette is an open-source software that allows you to create your own online marketplace for local food producers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Cagette on macOS.
Before installing Cagette, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites on your macOS system:
Open the Terminal app on your macOS system and run the following command to clone the Cagette repository:

Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the cagette directory and run the following command to install dependencies:

Before you can use Cagette, you need to configure the database. Cagette uses PostgreSQL as its database engine. If you don't have PostgreSQL installed, you can download it from https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx/.
Once PostgreSQL is installed, create a new user and database for Cagette. To do this, run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo -u postgres createuser -s cagette
sudo -u postgres createdb cagette_development
Next, you need to configure Cagette by setting the environment variables. To do this, create a new file named .env in the cagette directory and add the following lines to it:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://cagette@localhost/cagette_development
SECRET_KEY_BASE=YOUR_SECRET_KEY
Replace "YOUR_SECRET_KEY" with a secret key of your own choice. You can generate a secret key by running the following command in the terminal:
bundle exec rails secret
Before starting Cagette, you need to run the database migrations. To do this, run the following command:
bundle exec rails db:migrate
This command will create the necessary database tables.
Finally, you can start Cagette by running the following command:
bundle exec rails server
Cagette is now up and running on your macOS system. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
