As we are told in their wiki 

“Wekan is an open-source kanban board which allows a card-based task and to-do management, similar to tools like WorkFlowy or Trello.”

For those who don’t know, the Kanban Board is a method of work organization and personnel of Japanese origin, that consists of showing the workflow in columns from left to right, where each column is a process or entity.

Wekan is developed by a group of collaborators from all over the world, who donate their time and knowledge to make the application grow and achieve its objectives. Wekan is built with the Meteor JavaScript framework and is distributed under the MIT license, allowing anyone to easily work with and modify it.

Features of Wekan

Being an application focused on productivity, we find a large number of interesting features for the job.

• WIP Limits
• Boards: List of all your public and private boards, board shortcuts at top of page
• Wekan full screen or window on desktop (without browser buttons etc)
• Wekan full screen on mobile Firefox

It also has an authentication system, an administration panel and the ability to perform SMTP configuration.

With the SMTP configuration you can do the self-registration from the application, or change for invitation only and inviting users to meetings.

And many more that you can always consult on their Github site.

Installing Wekan on Debian 10 / Debian 9

We have already talked about Wekan, and its features and if you have reached this point it is because you want to install it and you will be pleased. Let’s get to work.

The easiest way to install it is through the snap technology, that is easily downloadable and with a single command we can reach the goal.

If you don’t have it installed, all you need is a command:

:~# apt install snapd

And then with a simple one:

:~# snap install wekan

And with that we’ll have our Wekan installed.

Using Wekan on Debian 10 / Debian 9

Once the installation of Wekan is done, we proceed to enter in our favorite web browser the address http://localhost:8080/ or http://yourserver:8080 and we should see an image like this.

Where we are asked to log in and if we do not proceed to register.

Before we start we must take into account some of the temrinology that Wekan uses. It’s not complicated at all, but serves as a reference for understanding the workflow.

• A board: It can be said that a board is the project itself.
• A List: A list can be compared to a project stage. Or a simple step to execute.
• A Card:The cards represent a task to be performed.

With these little tips we can get started.

Once you have registered you can use the application and it will show you the following screen:

In this screen it appears empty and we must progressively add the boards.

For the moment we are going to modify the Welcome Board by clicking on it.

On this screen we can add the cards to indicate the tasks to be done, divided into basic or advanced tasks. Let’s add a basic task by clicking on Add Card.

Then we write in the name of the task and click on Add.

After adding it we can click on the card and modify its properties, such as: reception, start and end dates, as well as the members who are assigned the task.

So we can continue to improve our work, adding people, customizing with colors and defining whether the board is public or private.

Modify some settings

As mentioned above, without configuring anything Wekan is available at http://localhost:8080/, but it is possible to modify some parameters and configurations, being the port change highly recommended. To this end, we write:

:~# snap set wekan port="8081"

Obviously you can place any port you want.

We can also assign you the address where Wekan will be accessed.

:~# snap set wekan root-url="http://www.example.com:5000"

Note: both the port and the domain are examples

Once we have made the changes, we must always restart the Wekan service for the changes to take effect.

:~# systemctl restart snap.wekan.wekan

To conclude this article and not to make it too long, we can say that Wekan is a great application focused on productivity in teamwork with multiple tools and a focus always aimed at process optimization.

Its installation process is very simple thanks to the snap technology, and avoids long configuration processes.

For more information, you can visit the project’s website and share this article through your favorite social networks.

Well, for making things easier, there’s a better solution that’s already established itself in the heart of the community. The “snap” package system offers a really intuitive method of installing all the popular software of Linux in a universal manner. No more messing around with confusing command lines, DEB/RPM/TAR.GZ files and others.

Setting “snap” core

Well, not all the Linux distros come up with “snap” preconfigured. In most cases, you have to prepare your system by yourself so that it can handle “snap” packages. Don’t worry; it’s an easy job.

Just run the following command(s) according to your Linux distro.

• Ubuntu

sudo apt update

sudo apt install snapd

• Debian

sudo apt update

sudo apt install snapd

If “sudo” isn’t installed, then follow the following steps.

su root

apt update

apt install snapd

• Fedora

sudo dnf install snapd

sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

• OpenSUSE

Enable repo –

sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.0 snappy

sudo zypper dup --from snappy

Install “snap” service –

sudo zypper install snapd

sudo systemctl enable snapd

sudo systemctl start snapd

• Arch Linux

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git

cd snapd

makepkg -si

sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket

sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

Configuring “snap”

For “snap” to work properly, you need the “core” snap package. Run the following command –

sudo snap install core

For other Linux distros, check out the official documentation of “snapd”.

Voila! Installation complete!

Using “snap”

When you issue a command for installing a snap package, the “snapd” will grab it from the snap servers and install it into your system.

For installing a snap, find it out first in the Snapcraft Store.

Then, run the following command for installing the snap.

sudo snap install <snap_package_name>

Need to find out how many snap packages are installed?

snap list

You can easily disable/enable a snap package.

sudo snap disable <snap_package_name>

sudo snap enable <snap_package_name>

You don’t have to manually update snap packages. The “snapd” regularly checks for updates and updates all the snap packages to the latest version. However, you can manually issue an update order.

sudo snap refresh

Need to find out all the available things you can do with snap?

snap --help

Enjoy!

JetBrains brings us in RubyMine perhaps the best IDE to develop in Ruby. RubyMine has a pretty good design, elegant, sober and functional to start the work.

It has quite modern features such as the possibility to auto-complete the code and the partial search for code, to increase the speed of coding. Of course, it has debugging and code testing tools, as well as support for HTML, CSS, LESS Coffee script, which also makes it ideal for Ruby on Rails.

Let’s install this fantastic IDE for Ruby

First of all, what you have to do is install Ruby. I think it’s obvious, however, I remind you to do it. It’s possible to do it without so many problems with the following command.

:~$ sudo apt install ruby-full

Installation on Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux Mint 19 is simple because it is available as a snap package. In other words, the whole installation is reduced to one command.

:~$ sudo snap install rubymine --classic

Next, launch it.

The first use of RubyMine

When you first run the application. We will be asked to import some previous configurations. Some of them may come from a previous version. Next, the installer will ask us if we accept the license agreement.

Now you will begin to customize this IDE for Ruby. First, select the UI.

Now, you have to set the keymap scheme.

Now the next step is to integrate the plugins. Leave it that way by default.

Now it’s the turn of the community plugins. You can also install it.

RubyMine is not free so you will be asked to activate the license. However, you can request a trial for 30 days.

Then, the application will ask you if you want to send data anonymously, for statistics and possible improvements.

Finally, you can use RubyMine.

Now it is time to create a New project.

Obviously, it is convenient to create a project with something related to Ruby, but note that it is possible to start Bootstrap or Foundation projects. I created one of Bootstrap, but create one of whatever you want.

Now, start to code!! 😀

Conclusion

The development of applications needs tools that facilitate the process. One of those tools is IDE’s that help to make coding fast and efficient.
