Installation

Installation using Github

First make sure you have installed all the dependencies. Clone the latest taiga-back from github into document root folder:

    git clone https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-back.git taiga-back
    cd taiga-back
    git checkout stable

Create a new virtualenv named taiga:

    mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 taiga

Install all Python dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Execute all migrations to populate the database with basic necessary initial data:

    python manage.py migrate --noinput
    python manage.py loaddata initial_user
    python manage.py loaddata initial_project_templates
    python manage.py compilemessages
    python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

The above migrations create an administrator account. The login credentials are the following: username: admin password: 123123

To finish the setup of taiga-back, create the initial configuration file for proper static/media file resolution, optionally with email sending support:

Copy-paste the following config into ~/taiga-back/settings/local.py and update it with your own details:

    from .common import *
    
    MEDIA_URL = "http://example.com/media/"
    STATIC_URL = "http://example.com/static/"
    SITES["front"]["scheme"] = "http"
    SITES["front"]["domain"] = "example.com"
    
    SECRET_KEY = "theveryultratopsecretkey"
    
    DEBUG = False
    PUBLIC_REGISTER_ENABLED = True
    
    DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "no-reply@example.com"
    SERVER_EMAIL = DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL
    
    #CELERY_ENABLED = True
    
    EVENTS_PUSH_BACKEND = "taiga.events.backends.rabbitmq.EventsPushBackend"
    EVENTS_PUSH_BACKEND_OPTIONS = {"url": "amqp://taiga:PASSWORD_FOR_EVENTS@localhost:5672/taiga"}
    
    # Uncomment and populate with proper connection parameters
    # to enable email sending. `EMAIL_HOST_USER` should end by @.
    #EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend"
    #EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
    #EMAIL_HOST = "localhost"
    #EMAIL_HOST_USER = ""
    #EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ""
    #EMAIL_PORT = 25
    
    # Uncomment and populate with proper connection parameters
    # to enable GitHub login/sign-in.
    #GITHUB_API_CLIENT_ID = "yourgithubclientid"
    #GITHUB_API_CLIENT_SECRET = "yourgithubclientsecret"

Download the frontend code from GitHub:

    cd ~
    git clone https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-front-dist.git taiga-front-dist
    cd taiga-front-dist
    git checkout stable

Copy the example config file:

    cp ~/taiga-front-dist/dist/conf.example.json ~/taiga-front-dist/dist/conf.json

Edit the example configuration following the pattern below (replace with your own details):

    {
    	"api": "http://example.com/api/v1/",
    	"eventsUrl": "ws://example.com/events",
    	"debug": "true",
    	"publicRegisterEnabled": true,
    	"feedbackEnabled": true,
    	"privacyPolicyUrl": null,
    	"termsOfServiceUrl": null,
    	"GDPRUrl": null,
    	"maxUploadFileSize": null,
    	"contribPlugins": []
    }

Having taiga-front-dist downloaded and configured is insufficient. The next step is to expose the code (in dist directory) under a static file web server.
