• You have root access to the server.
• You have a valid domain name that you can use for accessing your Chevereto installation.

Step 1: Update the System

To start the installation process, update the Clear Linux system by running the following command:

sudo swupd update

This will update the system to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Next, install the required packages for Chevereto by running the following command:

This command will install PHP, Apache, and other required packages on your server.

Step 3: Download and Extract Chevereto

Now it is time to download and extract the Chevereto package from the official GitHub repository. Run the following command to download the package via git:

sudo git clone https://github.com/chevereto/chevereto.git /var/www/html/

This command will download the package and store it in the /var/www/html/ directory.

Next, change the ownership of the /var/www/html/ directory to the Apache user by running the following command:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/

Step 4: Configure Apache for Chevereto

Now that you have downloaded and extracted the Chevereto package, it is time to configure Apache to serve the website. Create a file named chevereto.conf in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory and add the following configuration:

    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/chevereto_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/chevereto_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

This configuration will enable the .htaccess file and allow Apache to serve the files in the /var/www/html/ directory.

Next, enable and start the Apache service by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd

Make sure to replace password with a strong password.

Next, exit the MySQL shell by running the following command:
