Cannot Install horilla on Ubuntu 24

[Najeeb-joya]

I cloned horilla and I wanted to install it on ubuntu 24. My database is postgres, at the make migration step I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/src/horilla/horilla/myvenv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 89, in _execute

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Hi @Najeeb-joya ,

Did you run the migrations command?

python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate

Hi @Najeeb-joya ,

No there is not any file inside asset/migration

Hi @Najeeb-joya,

We found the issue in the attendance app where the apps.ready method was causing errors by attempting to query the Company table during initialization. This happened because the database tables weren’t fully migrated at that stage.

The issue has been fixed. Please pull the latest code from the master branch and ensure everything is up to date.

Let us know if you face any further issues
