OSEM in 10.1 simple steps

by Alex Vennos

What is OSEM?

OSEM is an event management web application, tailored to the needs of FOSS conferences. You can visit //osem.io/ to find out more about it.

You can contribute too!

The guide is based & tested on openSUSE 13.2 and it will help you get started with your development right away!

How to install OSEM

Step 1. Install Ruby & Bundler (version >= ruby 2.1.2)

sudo zypper in ruby rubygem-bundler

Step 2. Install git to your system

sudo zypper in git

Step 3. Clone the repository locally to your machine

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/

Step 4. Install the basic packages, you will need them for the next steps in order for _bundle install _to work.

sudo zypper in make ruby-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel libmysqlclient-devel libqt4-devel libQtWebKit-devel nodejs

Step 5. Move in the folder osem and install the necessary gems in your local project folder

cd osem

bundle install –standalone

Step 5.1. Optional: You may need to configure nokogiri, so that bundle install succeeds

bundle config build.nokogiri –use-system-libraries

Step 6. You can also generate your secret keys for devise and the rails app with

bundle exec rake secret

Step 7. Copy the sample configuration files

cp config/config.yml.example config/config.yml

cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml

Step 8. Setup the database

bundle exec rake db:setup

Step 9. Start your rails server and run OSEM

bundle exec rails server

Step 10. And you are all set! Visit OSEM at //localhost:3000

…and let the coding begin! The fun starts here!

Finally I want to thank Stella Rouzi for her help!
