Runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 with an NGINX webserver and PHP 7.4 already set up.
Open a terminal window in your webserver home directory, then clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/tech189/tiripode.git
Change directory:
cd tiripode
Install pyenv if you don't already have it, then set up Python:
pyenv install 3.11.4
pyenv local 3.11.4
Create a virtual environment for Python and install the required modules:
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Install PostgreSQL for the database and libpq5 for psycopg to connect to it:
sudo apt install postgresql libpq5 -y
Set up a user for the database so you can connect as pi:
sudo su postgres
createuser pi -P --interactive
At the interactive prompt, choose
- no to "Shall the new role be a superuser?"
- yes to "Shall the new role be allowed to create databases?
- yes to "Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles?"
Then type exit to leave PostgreSQL.
Create a secret.py file with your password from the previous step, for example:
DB_URI = "postgres://pi:password@localhost/tiripode"This will be used to connect to the database from Python.
Set up the database and create the tables:
psql postgres < setup_database.sql
Finally, generate the inflections and fill the database with them:
python3 prepare_data.py
python3 fill_database.py
