Flextype is a flexible and powerful content management system that is easy to install and use. Here's how to install Flextype on Arch Linux:
Before you can install Flextype on your Arch Linux system, you need to install some necessary dependencies to ensure proper running of the program. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-gd php-apcu php-session php-mbstring composer
This command installs PHP with necessary extensions called "php-gd," "php-apcu," "php-session," and "php-mbstring". It also installs Composer, a dependency manager for PHP.
In this step, download the latest version of Flextype from its official website. Navigate to the download page, and copy the URL of the latest version of Flextype.
Open your terminal, and enter the following command to download the latest version of Flextype:
git clone https://github.com/flextype/flextype.git
The above command downloads the latest version of Flextype into a directory named "flextype."
In this step, we will install Flextype by setting up the default configuration and installing dependencies.
Navigate to the "flextype" folder, and run the following commands:
cd flextype
composer install --no-dev
chmod -R 777 ./flextype
The first command changes your working directory to the "flextype" directory that you cloned in the previous step.
The second command installs all necessary dependencies for Flextype by running composer install --no-dev.
The third command sets the necessary permissions for Flextype to run correctly by giving write permissions to all files and directories inside the "flextype" folder.
In this step, you can run Flextype on your Arch Linux system. You can use the built-in PHP web server to run your Flextype installation locally. Navigate to the "flextype" folder, and run the following command:
php -S localhost:8000
After running the above command, navigate to the 'http://localhost:8000/' link in your web browser, and you should see the Flextype homepage.
In this tutorial, we have installed Flextype on Arch Linux by setting up dependencies, downloading Flextype, and configuring it. By following these steps, you can install Flextype and start using it for your content management requirements.
