Tiki is a powerful open-source software package that can be used to create a range of web applications, including online communities and e-commerce websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Tiki on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, you will need to have the following:
The first step is to ensure that the system is up-to-date. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apk update
This will update the package manager and ensure that all software packages are current.
Tiki has a number of dependencies that need to be installed before it can be installed. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apk add php7 php7-fpm php7-mysqli php7-gd php7-mcrypt php7-mbstring php7-curl php7-openssl php7-zip php7-json php7-xml
This command will install all the required dependencies for Tiki to run.
The next step is to download Tiki. To do this, run the following command:
wget https://info.tiki.org/download/tiki-latest.tar.gz
This will download the latest version of Tiki to your server.
Once the download is complete, you need to extract the Tiki files to a directory on your server. To do this, run the following command:
tar xvzf tiki-latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/
This will extract the Tiki files to the /var/www/ directory.
After extracting Tiki, it's necessary to set the correct permissions for the files and directories. To do this, run the following commands:
cd /var/www/tiki
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data *
sudo chmod -R 775 *
This will set the appropriate permissions for Tiki.
Now, it's time to configure Tiki. To do this, rename the file "local.php.example" to "local.php" by running the following command:
cp /var/www/tiki/db/local.php.example /var/www/tiki/db/local.php
This will create a new configuration file for Tiki.
The final step is to start Nginx so that it can serve Tiki. To do this, run the following command:
sudo service nginx start
This will start Nginx and allow Tiki to be accessed through a web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown how to install Tiki on Alpine Linux Latest. Now, you can begin using Tiki to create your web applications.
