Need help for plone set up

[AwaneeshSoni1 (Awaneesh Soni)]

Hello,
I am Awaneesh Soni.
I am currently going through the training phase.
I was setting up the backend but this is showing some error:

I am using windows 11 (64 bit )

Mentors, can you please help here...

Instructions for Linux do not work on Windows, obviously.
Feel free to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in order to have a virtual Ubuntu machine on Windows.

[AwaneeshSoni1 (Awaneesh Soni)]

I installed WSL (ubuntu).
now after running make build, it is showing this error.

Install Plone inside your VM on the virtual filesystem of your VM, not on some mounted drive.
For getting started, use your $HOME directory under Linux.

Hi everyone ,
Can someone please tell me if i want to contribute to a frontend project then which image have I to use?

Plone 6 Official Images

A silly question but will help me out .

@Kunal_th_coder

contribute to a frontend project then which image have I to use?

Use the backend image, in docker. For the front-end go to the volto repository and start the dev server there for local development.

[AwaneeshSoni1 (Awaneesh Soni)]

Now what should i do ?

I have python3 installed.

[yurj (Yuri)]

[AwaneeshSoni1 (Awaneesh Soni)]

@zopyx what should I do ?

@AwaneeshSoni1,

try using the following command with python3.

python3 -m venv venv

please don't us screenshots when sharing terminal output or error messages.

Hi guys, I see more and more people pasting error messages as images on here. Though it looks great, is doesn't help for search engines. Just past the text you're looking at, maybe in a pre formatted.

Recommendations for GSoC aspirants

A couple more tips. Read the documentation, especially for how to install Plone 6. https://6.docs.plone.org/ Regarding Eric's comment about making a pull request to a Plone project, if you choose to proceed, and before you do anything, you must: Sign and return the Plone Contributor Agreement. Try out or install Plone. Become familiar with the project's contributing guidelines. All Plone repositories have either the default minimal contributing policy or override it with their own. For exam…

@AwaneeshSoni1
Also... are you planning to primarily do React-based development? If so, you really only need to focus on getting comfortable with the Volto stuff. In that case, it is generally good enough to run the Plone backend with docker.

[AwaneeshSoni1 (Awaneesh Soni)]

Yes, I am planning to do react-based development. Thank you for suggesting docker. Please tell me if anything else is important for volto stuff. It would be helpful for me.

Start here: Frontend — Plone Documentation v6.0
The quick start info focuses on using docker standalone, I recommend setting up something with docker-compose. Starting with this will get you comfortable for your first two weeks though.

I also have some problem setting up Plone 6 according to the documentation I am having an error that reads. But I am contributing to plone for frontend react based development also. I will take your advice but I'd love to have a fix to this if I can.

Frontend codebase:
 - Installing @plone/generator-volto@6.2.6
There was an error, see /Users/abuka/Documents/openSource/plone/my_project/plone_starter_error.log for details
