I have been able to just install this on linux mint 20. Do you still need help installing this? Thanks

If you're having trouble installing and running the EeazyCRM project, let’s break it down step by step. Here’s a checklist and some troubleshooting tips:

1. Environment Setup

Python Version: Make sure you’re using a compatible version of Python (usually mentioned in the project's documentation). Check your version with:
```
python --version
```
Virtual Environment: It’s a good practice to use a virtual environment. Create one and activate it:
```
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
```

2. Installing Dependencies

Install Requirements: Run the following command in the project directory where requirements.txt is located:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Check for Errors: If you encounter errors during installation, note them down. Common issues could be version conflicts or missing dependencies.

3. Database Setup

Database Configuration: Ensure your database is set up correctly. Check if the project has specific instructions for configuring the database (like PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).
Run Migrations: If the project uses Flask-Migrate, run the migrations to set up the database schema:
```
flask db migrate
flask db upgrade
```

4. Running the Application

Start the Application: Usually, you can run the application with:
```
flask run
```
Check for Errors: Monitor the terminal for any error messages when starting the application.

5. Common Issues and Fixes

Attribute Errors: If you encounter an AttributeError, refer back to the specific line mentioned in the error message and check your imports.
Database Connection Issues: Make sure your database server is running and that your connection strings in the configuration files are correct.
Missing Environment Variables: Ensure any required environment variables (like database credentials) are set.

6. Debugging

Logs: Check the application logs for any errors or warnings that can give you more context about the issues.
Print Statements: You can add print statements to your code to debug where it might be failing.

7. Seek Help

If you've gone through these steps and are still encountering issues, consider providing specific error messages or problematic code sections. This will help in diagnosing the problem more effectively.
