Ubuntu 16.04¶
This is the guide for installing Fleio on Ubuntu 16.04 distribution. In our documentation, for simplicity reasons, we are going to install the backend and the frontend on the same server.
Install prerequisites¶
apt-get update
apt-get install curl software-properties-common apt-transport-https
Import gpg public key¶
curl https://repos.fleio.com/public.key | apt-key add -
Enable repository¶
add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://repos.fleio.com/ubuntu xenial main"
Install the backend package¶
apt-get update
apt-get install fleio-backend
Install the frontend package¶
apt-get install fleio-frontend
Fleio needs a database server in order to operate. In this tutorial, we are going to use MariaDB-server but feel free to use any database server of your choice.
Install MariaDB-server¶
apt-get install mariadb-server
Create the database and the database user¶
We are using fleio
as database and fleio
as username.
Run the mysql
command line client, and create the database and the username:
CREATE DATABASE fleio CHARACTER SET utf8;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fleio.* TO 'fleio'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'HEREWETYPEPASSWORD';
Bootstrap initial configuration¶
Now that we have Fleio installed and we have the database prepared, we need to create the settings file in path
/var/webapps/fleio/project/fleio/settings.py
. You can create this file manually, based on the template file found at
/var/webapps/fleio/project/fleio/settings.template
or you can use a helper script to create the settings.py
file.
To start the helper script run:
/var/webapps/fleio/scripts/bootstrap.sh
This script creates the database tables, creates the administrator user and the settings.py
file.
Next you need to answer several questions. Note that the default values, which are usually fine, are in square brackets.
/var/webapps/fleio/scripts/bootstrap.sh
