How to Install OpenProject on Manjaro

OpenProject is an open-source project management software that can help you in planning, executing, and controlling your projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing the OpenProject on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Manjaro installed on your system
Access to a terminal
Non-root user with sudo permissions

Step 1: Update System

First, update your system by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Dependencies

OpenProject requires certain dependencies to run. Install them by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S git curl cmake build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev

Step 3: Install RVM

OpenProject requires Ruby 2.6 or later. Install RVM (Ruby Version Manager) to manage multiple versions of Ruby on your system. Run the following command to install RVM:

gpg --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Once the installation is complete, load the RVM script by running the following command:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Step 4: Install Ruby

Next, install Ruby by running the following command:

rvm install 3.0.2

This will install Ruby version 3.0.2.

Step 5: Install OpenProject

Finally, we can install OpenProject by following these steps:

Clone the OpenProject repository:

git clone https://github.com/opf/openproject-ce.git

Change the directory to the OpenProject directory:
```
cd openproject-ce/
```
Install the required gems:
```
gem install bundler
bundle install --without postgresql mysql sqlite
```
Note: If you want to use a specific database like PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite, you can use the appropriate option instead of --without.
Create a database:
```
rails db:create
```

Run the setup script:

rails db:migrate:status
rails db:migrate
rails db:seed

Start the server:
```
rails server -p 3000 -b 0.0.0.0
```
This will start the OpenProject server on port 3000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenProject on Manjaro. You can now access the OpenProject web interface by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:3000.
