Hackershare is an open-source knowledge management tool that allows you to collect, organize, and share information. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Hackershare on macOS step-by-step.

Prerequisites

Before installing Hackershare, make sure that you have the following dependencies installed on your macOS:

• Python 3.6+
• pip (the Python package manager)

Step 1: Clone the Hackershare Repository

To get started, open the Terminal application on your macOS and clone the Hackershare repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/hackershare/hackershare.git

This will download the Hackershare repository to your local machine.

Step 2: Install the Required Python Packages

Navigate to the cloned Hackershare directory by running the following command:

cd hackershare

Then, install the required Python packages by running the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will download and install all the required Python packages for Hackershare.

Step 3: Initialize the Database

Hackershare uses PostgreSQL as its database, so you need to install PostgreSQL on your macOS if you don't have it already. You can download PostgreSQL from here.

After installing PostgreSQL, create a new database user and database by running the following commands:

createuser hackershare
createdb hackershare

Once you have created the database, initialize it by running the following command:

python manage.py migrate

This will create the necessary tables in the database.

Step 4: Create a Superuser Account

To access the Hackershare web interface, you need to create a superuser account. Run the following command to create a superuser account:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Follow the instructions and provide the required information to create a new superuser account.

Step 5: Run the Hackershare Server

Finally, run the following command to start the Hackershare server:

python manage.py runserver

This will start the server on http://127.0.0.1:8000/. Open your web browser and navigate to this URL to access the Hackershare web interface.
