How to Install Tracim on Void Linux

Tracim is an open-source collaborative platform for creating and sharing documents. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tracim on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

A working installation of Void Linux
A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Before we can install Tracim, we need to make sure that all required packages are installed on our system. Open a terminal and run the following command to update the package list:

sudo xbps-install -Suy

Now, run the following command to install the necessary packages:

sudo xbps-install gcc git python3-devel postgresql postgresql-devel postgresql-contrib

Step 2: Install Tracim

Clone the Tracim source code repository by running the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/tracim/tracim.git
```
Navigate to the cloned repository directory using the following command:
```
cd tracim
```

Install the required Python modules by running the following command:

sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Next, you need to create a PostgreSQL database and user for Tracim. Run the following commands to create a new database user and a database:
```
sudo su postgres
psql
CREATE USER tracim WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE tracim_db OWNER tracim;
\q
exit
```

Edit the configuration files by running the following command:

cp tracim/settings/local.development.sample.py tracim/settings/local.development.py

Now, open tracim/settings/local.development.py file in your favorite text editor and change the following lines:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'tracim_db',
        'USER': 'tracim',
        'PASSWORD': 'password',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

You also need to create the database schema by running the following command:
```
python3 manage.py migrate
```
Finally, run the Tracim server by running the following command:
```
python3 manage.py runserver
```
The Tracim server should now be running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Tracim on Void Linux. You can now use the platform to create and share documents with your team.
