How to install Django-Todo on OpenBSD

Django-Todo is a free and open source todo list management application that is built using the Django web framework. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Django-Todo on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin with this guide, ensure that you have the following:

  1. Administrative access to an OpenBSD server or VPS.
  2. Python 3.x is installed on your system.
  3. Pip is available on your OpenBSD server.

Step 1: Create a virtual environment

The first thing that we need to do is to create a virtual environment to keep the Django-Todo requirements separate from the rest of the system.

  1. Run the following command to install virtualenv:
$ pip install virtualenv
  1. Create a new virtual environment using the following command:
$ virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3 django-todo-env
  1. Activate the virtual environment with the command below:
$ source django-todo-env/bin/activate

Step 2: Install Django and other requirements

Django-Todo requires Django and other dependencies to be installed on the system before we can install it. In this step, we will install Django and other required dependencies.

  1. Update pip to the latest version using the following command:
$ pip install -U pip
  1. Install Django and other requirements using the command below:
$ pip install django django-bootstrap4 djangorestframework

Step 3: Install Django-Todo

Once Django and other dependencies are installed, we can proceed to install Django-Todo.

  1. Install Django-Todo using the following command:
$ pip install django-todo
  1. Once the installation is complete, run the following command to initialize the database:
$ python manage.py migrate

Step 4: Run the Django development server

Now, we can start the Django development server and access Django-Todo from your web browser.

  1. Run the following command to start the development server:
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
  1. Open a web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip:8000 to access Django-Todo.
