Prerequisites

  • A running instance of Pop! OS

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To use Juntagrico, you need to first install some dependencies. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T and run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git python3-pip postgresql postgresql-server-dev-all libpq-dev locales-all

Step 2: Install Virtual Environment

It's always a good practice to use virtual environments to ensure that we are installing packages and dependencies specific to a particular project. We'll be using virtualenv for this. Run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 myjuntagricoenv
source myjuntagricoenv/bin/activate

Step 3: Clone the Juntagrico repository

We'll now clone the Juntagrico repository using Git. Enter the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/juntagrico/juntagrico.git
cd juntagrico

Step 4: Install Juntagrico

We're now ready to install Juntagrico. Run the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements/local.txt

Step 5: Create a Postgres database

We need to create a new database in Postgres for Juntagrico. Run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo su postgres
psql
CREATE ROLE test_user WITH LOGIN PASSWORD ‘test_password’;
ALTER ROLE test_user CREATEDB;
CREATE DATABASE test_db OWNER test_user;

Step 6: Setup the Juntagrico settings file

We're now ready to setup the settings file for Juntagrico. Run the following commands in the terminal:

cd juntagrico
cp juntagrico/settings/local.example.py juntagrico/settings/local.py
nano juntagrico/settings/local.py

In the editor, make the following changes to the database settings:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'test_db',
        'USER': 'test_user',
        'PASSWORD': 'test_password',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, y, and then Enter.

Step 7: Run Migrations

We need to run migrations to initialize the Juntagrico database. Run the following commands:

python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate

Step 8: Create a superuser

We need to create a superuser to manage and administer Juntagrico. Run the following command:

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

Step 9: Run the development server

We're now ready to run the development server. Run the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver

Juntagrico should now be running on your local machine. You can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8000.
