This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing PropertyWebBuilder on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before you start the installation process, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
First, you need to update the system packages by running the following command:

By default, Apache is not started after installation. To enable and start Apache, run the following commands:
sudo rc-update add apache2 && sudo rc-service apache2 start
You will also need to change the document root to match the PropertyWebBuilder installation directory. Open the Apache configuration file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf in your preferred text editor and modify the following line:

Change it to:
DocumentRoot "path/to/propertywebbuilder/public"
Save the changes and restart Apache by running the following command:
sudo rc-service apache2 restart
Clone the PropertyWebBuilder repository from GitHub to your preferred directory:
git clone https://github.com/openrealty/propertywebbuilder.git path/to/propertywebbuilder
