How to Install OSEM on Clear Linux Latest

Open Source Event Manager (OSEM) is a web platform for organizing events. It is written in Ruby on Rails and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OSEM on Clear Linux Latest.

Step 1 - Install prerequisites

Before we start, we need to ensure that our system has all the prerequisites installed. To do this, run the following command:

$ sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl runtime-ruby

This command installs the OpenSSL development package and the Ruby runtime environment on your system.

Step 2 - Install Rails

OSEM requires the Ruby on Rails framework, so we need to install it next. Run the following command to install Rails:

$ sudo gem install rails

Step 3 - Install OSEM

Download the latest version of OSEM from the official website (https://osem.io/) and extract the files to your local machine.

$ wget https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip

Navigate to the extracted directory.

$ cd osem-master

Run bundler to install all OSEM’s dependencies.

$ bundle install

Step 4 - Configure OSEM

Next, we need to create a configuration file for OSEM. Copy the example configuration file:

$ cp config/osem.yml.example config/osem.yml

You can edit the configuration file to suit your needs using your text editor of choice.

Step 5 - Set up the Database

We now need to set up the OSEM database. Run the following command to create the database and run the database migrations:

$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate

Step 6 - Start OSEM

Once you have set up the database, you can start OSEM by running the following command:

$ rails server

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access the OSEM web platform.
