Introduction

Calagator is an open-source software for event management and community calendars. It is built on Ruby on Rails and helps users easily create and manage events, organize meetings, and build community calendars. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Calagator on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation process, you need to have the following:

• Linux Mint Latest installed on your system
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands and terminal usage
• Administrative privileges to execute commands

Step 1: Install Ruby on Rails

Calagator requires Ruby on Rails to run. If you do not have Ruby on Rails installed on your system, run the following command to install it:

sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

Calagator uses PostgreSQL as the database management system. You need to install it on your system to proceed with the installation process. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev

You also need to create a PostgreSQL user for the Calagator application. Run the following command to create a user:

sudo nano /etc/calagator/config.yml

In this file, you need to update the database information. Replace the username and password with the PostgreSQL user and password that you configured in Step 2. Then, save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 5: Setup Database

The next step is to setup the Calagator database. Run the following command to setup the database:

sudo rake db:create

Step 6: Start Calagator

Finally, you need to start the Calagator server. Run the following command to start the server:
