Anahita requires several dependencies to be installed on your Clear Linux system. These include Apache, MySQL, PHP, and several PHP modules. Run the following commands to install the necessary packages:

Composer is a package manager for PHP that is needed to install Anahita's dependencies. Run the following command to install Composer:
sudo php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer
Now it's time to download and install the Anahita software. Run the following command to download the latest version of Anahita:

Anahita has several configuration files that need to be edited. Navigate to the Anahita directory:
cd /var/www/html/anahita

Open configuration.php in your preferred text editor and update the following settings:
ANAHITA_BASE_URL to the URL where you will access Anahita. DATABASE_NAME, DATABASE_USERNAME, and DATABASE_PASSWORD to the MySQL database credentials you set up during the MySQL secure installation wizard.Save and close the file.
The final step is to initialize Anahita by running the following command:
sudo php anahita site:install
