How to Install Wakapi on EndeavourOS Latest

Wakapi is a lightweight, open-source analytics server that can be used to collect and display statistics about your coding activity. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Wakapi on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

  • A server running EndeavourOS Latest
  • Root or sudo access to the server

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies necessary for running Wakapi. To do this, run the following commands:

sudo pacman -Syu

exit

Update the credentials in the wakapi/wakapi.cfg file to reflect the new user and database:

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://username:password@localhost/wakapi'

Replace username and password with the values for the user and database you just created.

Step 6: Initialize the Database

Initialize the database by running the following commands:

flask db init
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade
