How to Install EveryDocs on Linux Mint Latest?

EveryDocs is a powerful open-source document storage system that allows you to manage and store documents in a flexible way. In this tutorial, we will be going through the steps to install EveryDocs on Linux Mint Latest using the command line.

Prerequisites

  1. A running instance of Linux Mint Latest.
  2. A terminal application with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Installing Required Dependencies

Before we can install EveryDocs, we need to install some necessary dependencies. We can do that by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-venv

This command installs Python and other required packages for the installation of EveryDocs.

Step 2: Clone the EveryDocs Repository

Now we can clone the EveryDocs repository from GitHub to our local machine using the below command:

git clone https://github.com/jonashellmann/everydocs-core.git

This command will create a directory named everydocs-core in the current working directory and clone the code from GitHub into it.

Step 3: Create and Activate the Python Virtual Environment

Next, we need to create a Python virtual environment to isolate the EveryDocs installation from our system's Python environment. To create a virtual environment, navigate to the everydocs-core directory in the terminal and run the following command:

python3 -m venv env

This command creates a virtual environment named env in the everydocs-core directory.

Now we can activate our newly created virtual environment using the following command:

source env/bin/activate

This command activates the virtual environment, and you should see (env) in your terminal's prompt, which indicates that your virtual environment is active.

Step 4: Install EveryDocs

Once the virtual environment is activated, we can now install EveryDocs along with its dependencies using the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This command installs EveryDocs and all its required dependencies.

Step 5: Start EveryDocs

We can now start EveryDocs by running the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

This command starts the EveryDocs server on port 8000. You can now access the EveryDocs web interface by navigating to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed EveryDocs on Linux Mint Latest. Now you can store and manage your documents using this powerful open-source document storage system.
