How to Install Weblate on EndeavourOS Latest

Weblate is a translation management system that allows you to manage translations of your projects with ease. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Weblate on EndeavourOS Latest using the command-line interface.

Step 1: Update the System

Before we start the installation process, it's important to make sure that your system is up-to-date. To update the system, use the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

This command will update all the packages on your system to their latest version.

Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies

Weblate requires some dependencies to be installed on your system before you can install it. To install the necessary dependencies, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S python python-pip python-setuptools git gettext git-lfs rabbitmq  nginx uwsgi uwsgi-python3

Step 3: Clone the Weblate Repository

Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed to clone Weblate's repository. We will use Git to clone the repository. Use the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git

This command will clone the Weblate repository to your current directory.

Step 4: Install Weblate

Once you have cloned the Weblate repository, navigate to the "weblate" directory using the following command:

cd weblate

Now, use the following command to install Weblate:

sudo python3 setup.py install

This command will install Weblate on your system.

Step 5: Set Up the Web Server

Weblate requires a web server to run. In this tutorial, we will use Nginx as our web server. To install Nginx, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S nginx

Once Nginx is installed, start the nginx service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start nginx

Step 6: Configure Nginx

We need to configure Nginx to serve the Weblate application. Create a new Nginx configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/weblate.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    location / {
        uwsgi_pass unix:///run/uwsgi/app/weblate/socket;
        include uwsgi_params;
    }

    location /static/ {
        alias /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/weblate/static/;
    }

    location /media/ {
        alias /var/lib/weblate/media/;
    }
}

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name.

Save and close the file.

Step 7: Start the uWSGI Service

Weblate uses uWSGI as its application server. To start the uWSGI service, use the following command:

sudo systemctl start uwsgi

Step 8: Access Weblate on Your Web Browser

You can now access the Weblate application on your web browser by navigating to http://yourdomain.com. You should see the Weblate login page.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install Weblate on EndeavourOS Latest using the command-line interface. We also configured Nginx to serve the Weblate application and started the uWSGI service.
