Neos is a powerful open-source CMS (Content Management System) that allows you to build web applications and websites with ease. Alpine Linux, on the other hand, is a lightweight Linux distribution that is designed for security, simplicity, and resource efficiency. In this tutorial, we will be installing Neos on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install the required packages for Neos to run. Open your terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apk add git openssh php php-phar php-json php-dom php-pdo php-curl php-pdo_mysql php-openssl php-mbstring php-xml
This will install Git, OpenSSH, and all the necessary PHP packages for Neos.
Next, we need to install Composer, a package manager for PHP. Execute the following commands to download and install Composer:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
After installing Composer, you need to make sure that it is working properly by running the composer command.
Now, we need to clone Neos repository from GitHub. Execute the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/neos/neos-base-distribution.git
This will clone the repository into a directory called neos-base-distribution in your current working directory.
With the repository cloned, we can now install Neos. Change the directory to the cloned repository with the following command:
cd neos-base-distribution
Once inside the directory, execute the following command to install Neos:
composer install
This command will install all the required packages and dependencies for Neos to run.
After installing Neos, we need to start the built-in web server. To start the server, execute the following command:
FLOW_CONTEXT=Development ./flow server:run
This will start the server on port 8080. You can now open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to see the Neos installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Neos on Alpine Linux Latest. With Neos, you can build powerful and dynamic websites and web applications with ease. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, feel free to check Neos documentation or the Alpine Linux documentation to find the solution.
