How to Install Mobilizon on EndeavourOS Latest

Introduction

Mobilizon is a free, open-source platform for creating decentralized, federated events. It allows you to create and manage events without relying on any single company or platform.

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps required to install Mobilizon on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have a few things in place:

• A system running EndeavourOS Latest
• Internet connectivity
• A sudo user

Step 1: Update the System

Before beginning with the installation, make sure your system is up to date by running the following commands:

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S git

Step 2: Installing Dependencies

To install Mobilizon, we need to first install the following dependencies:

• PostgreSQL database
• Node.js and npm (version 12 or higher)
• Yarn package manager

To install the dependencies, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S postgresql nodejs npm yarn

Step 3: Clone the Mobilizon Repository

Next, we need to clone the Mobilizon repository to our system.

Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://framagit.org/framasoft/mobilizon.git

This will download the Mobilizon repository to your system.

Step 4: Install Mobilizon

Once the repository is cloned, navigate to its directory using the following command:

cd mobilizon

We'll then install the required dependencies using the following command:

yarn install

Step 5: Configuring the Database

Mobilizon uses PostgreSQL to store data. Before we can use Mobilizon, we need to create a database and a user on PostgreSQL.

Run the following command to access the PostgreSQL CLI:

sudo -u postgres psql

Once you are in the PostgreSQL CLI, create a new database with the following command:

CREATE DATABASE mobilizon;

Next, create a new user for the database with the following command:

CREATE USER mobilizon WITH PASSWORD 'password';

Make sure to replace 'password' with a password of your choice.

Once the database and user are created, grant the user access to the new database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mobilizon TO mobilizon;

Exit the PostgreSQL CLI by running the following command:

\q

Step 6: Configuring Mobilizon

We now need to configure Mobilizon to use the database we created earlier.

To do this, first copy the sample configuration file:

cp .env.sample .env

Then, edit the .env file and modify the following lines:

DATABASE_URL="postgresql://mobilizon:password@localhost/mobilizon"

Make sure to replace 'password' with the password you created earlier.

Step 7: Starting Mobilizon

We're now ready to start Mobilizon.

Run the following command to start the Mobilizon server:

yarn start

You should now be able to access Mobilizon by visiting http://localhost:3000/ in your web browser.

In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps required to install Mobilizon on EndeavourOS Latest. Mobilizon is now ready to use and you can start creating events right away. Enjoy!
