Lychee is an open-source photo management system that allows users to upload, organise, and share their pictures. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Lychee on Clear Linux latest, using the following steps:
Before installing Lychee on Clear Linux latest, ensure you have the following:
You'll need some prerequisites to install Lychee on Clear Linux latest:
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic devpkg-gtk-doc
You can download Lychee from the official website. In this example, we will use wget to download the latest version:
wget https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/archive/master.zip
After downloading, extract the archive to your preferred location. Assuming you want to install Lychee in "/var/www/":
sudo mkdir /var/www/lychee
sudo unzip master.zip -d /var/www/lychee/
sudo mv /var/www/lychee/Lychee-master/* /var/www/lychee/
Ensure that the Lychee directory permission is set properly:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/lychee/
Create a copy of the config.php file:
cp /var/www/lychee/data/config.php /var/www/lychee/data/config.php.example
Lychee needs some configuration to work properly. You can use nano or vim editor to edit the configuration file:
sudo nano /var/www/lychee/data/config.php
Change the following variables:
$username = 'lychee_username'; // Change this to a unique username
$password = 'lychee_password'; // Change this to a unique password
$dbName = 'lychee'; // Change this to a unique database name
$dbUser = 'root'; // Change this to your database user
Create a new MySQL database and user. You can use the following commands to do so:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE lychee;
CREATE USER 'lychee'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'lycheepassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON lychee.* TO 'lychee'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
To test if Lychee is successfully installed on your Clear Linux latest, navigate to http://localhost/lychee/ using your preferred web browser. If everything goes well, you should see the Lychee login page.
