How to Install Cagette on Fedora Server Latest

Cagette is an open-source project management tool developed in Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Cagette on a Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

• A server running Fedora Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of Linux command-line

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before we begin the installation process, we need to install some basic dependencies required to run Cagette. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install -y curl gnupg2 git nodejs postgresql-server postgresql-devel ImageMagick

Step 2: Install RVM

RVM (Ruby Version Manager) is a popular tool for managing Ruby installations. In this step, we will install RVM on our system using the following command:

curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 --import -
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Once installed, we can confirm that RVM is installed correctly by running the following command:

rvm -v

Step 3: Install Ruby

After installing RVM, we need to install Ruby, which is required to run Cagette. Run the following command to install Ruby:

rvm install 2.5.1

Once installed, set the default version to Ruby 2.5.1 by running the following command:

rvm --default use 2.5.1

Step 4: Clone Cagette repository

Next, we need to clone the Cagette repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone git://github.com/cagette/cagette.git

Navigate to the cagette directory using the following command:

cd cagette

Step 5: Install dependencies

Now, install the Cagette dependencies using the following command:

gem install bundler
bundle install
npm install

Step 6: Configure the database

Cagette uses a PostgreSQL database. We need to create a database and a user for Cagette. Run the following commands to create a user and a database:

sudo -u postgres createuser -s cagette
sudo -u postgres psql
ALTER USER cagette PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE cagette_production OWNER cagette;
\q

Replace password with your preferred password.

Step 7: Configure the application

Next, we need to configure the application by creating a configuration file. Copy the config/database.yml.example file to config/database.yml:

cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

Open the database.yml file using a text editor and replace the username and password with the information you used in Step 6:

production:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: utf8
  database: cagette_production
  username: cagette
  password: password
  host: localhost
  pool: 5

Save and close the file.

Step 8: Initialize the database

Now, initialize the database by running the following command:

rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

Step 9: Precompile the assets

Precompiling the assets is a crucial step in Cagette installation. Run the following command to precompile the assets:

bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production

Step 10: Start the application

Finally, we are ready to start the Cagette application. Run the following command to start the application:

rails server -e production

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/. You should see the Cagette login page.

Conclusion

That’s it! We have successfully installed Cagette on a Fedora Server. You can now use this powerful project management tool to streamline your project management workflows.
