Before you begin, make sure your MXLinux is up-to-date, and you have sudo privileges. So, let's get started.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing PropertyWebBuilder, we need to install some dependencies on MXLinux. Open the terminal and update the package lists:

sudo apt update

Now install the dependencies required for PropertyWebBuilder:

sudo apt install python3 python3-dev python3-pip libpq-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev gcc

Once the dependencies are installed, we can install PropertyWebBuilder. Open the terminal and enter the following command:

This will download and install PropertyWebBuilder and all its dependencies.

Step 3: Create a PostgreSQL database

PropertyWebBuilder requires a PostgreSQL database to store property listings and other data. You can install PostgreSQL on MXLinux by running the following command:

sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib

Once installed, create a new PostgreSQL database for PropertyWebBuilder. Run the following command to access the PostgreSQL command-line interface:

sudo -u postgres psql

Now, create a new user and database for PropertyWebBuilder:

CREATE USER propertywebbuilder WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE propertywebbuilder;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE propertywebbuilder TO propertywebbuilder;

Replace 'password' with a strong password for the new user.

Step 4: Configure PropertyWebBuilder

Now we need to configure PropertyWebBuilder to connect to the PostgreSQL database. Create a new configuration file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /etc/propertywebbuilder.cfg

Add the following lines to the configuration file, replacing the values with your own:

DATABASE_URI = postgresql://propertywebbuilder:password@localhost/propertywebbuilder
SECRET_KEY = <your_secret_key>

Replace 'password' and '' with your own values.

Step 5: Create an Admin User

Finally, we need to create an admin user for PropertyWebBuilder to access the admin dashboard. Run the following command in the terminal, replacing 'username', 'password', and 'email' with your own values:

propertywebbuilder createadmin --email=email --password=password username

Step 6: Start the PropertyWebBuilder Server

Now that everything is set up, we can start the PropertyWebBuilder server. Run the following command:

propertywebbuilder runserver --host=0.0.0.0

This command will start the server and make it accessible from any network device.

Step 7: Access PropertyWebBuilder
