Collective Access - Providence is an open-source collections management software designed for museums, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions to manage their collections digitally. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Collective Access - Providence on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure your system is up to date. Run the following command to update your system.
sudo swupd update
Collective Access - Providence requires some dependencies that need to be installed before we proceed with the installation process. The following command will install all the necessary dependencies.
sudo swupd bundle-add lamp
Next, we need to download the Collective Access - Providence package from the official website. Use the following command to download the package.
wget https://github.com/collectiveaccess/providence/releases/download/v1.7.8/providence-1.7.8.zip
Once the package has been downloaded, extract the .zip file by running the following command:
sudo unzip providence-1.7.8.zip -d /var/www/
Now, we need to rename the folder to make it easier to access. Use the following command to rename the folder.
sudo mv /var/www/providence-1.7.8 /var/www/providence
Next, we need to set ownership and permissions to the Providence folder. Run the following command to set the ownership to the Apache user.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/providence
Next, set the permissions on the /var/www/providence/app/tmp folder.
sudo chmod 755 /var/www/providence**/app/tmp**
Now we need to create a virtual host to access the Providence application from a web browser. First, create a new Apache configuration file for the virtual host.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/providence.conf
Add the following content inside this file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/providence
<Directory /var/www/providence>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note: Replace example.com with your domain name.
Finally, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes we have made.
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
Now that everything is set up, access Providence by visiting http://example.com/providence, where example.com is your domain name or server IP address.
That's it! You have successfully installed Collective Access - Providence on Clear Linux Latest. You can now begin to manage your collection digitally using Collective Access - Providence.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
