Neos is an open-source content management for enterprise websites and applications. It is built on PHP and requires a web server and a database to run. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Neos on Clear Linux.
The first step is to install Apache and PHP on Clear Linux. You can use the following command to install Apache and PHP.
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic apache
This command will install the basic PHP packages and the Apache web server. After the installation is finished, start the Apache web server using the following command.
sudo systemctl start httpd
Neos requires a database to store its data. We will use MySQL as the database for Neos. You can install MySQL on Clear Linux using the following command.
sudo swupd bundle-add mysql
This command will install the MySQL database server on your system. After the installation is finished, start the MySQL service using the following command.
sudo systemctl start mysql
After the MySQL service is started, you need to create a database for Neos. You can create a new database using the following command.
mysql -u root -p
This command will open the MySQL command prompt. At the prompt, enter the following command to create a new database.
create database neos;
After the database is created, create a new user and assign it to the database using the following commands.
create user 'neos'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
grant all privileges on neos.* to 'neos'@'localhost';
Replace password with a strong password for the Neos user.
Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP. We will use Composer to install Neos on Clear Linux. You can install Composer on Clear Linux using the following command.
sudo swupd bundle-add composer
This command will install Composer on your system.
The final step is to install Neos using Composer. You can use the following command to install Neos.
composer create-project --no-dev neos/neos-base-distribution neos
This command will download and install the Neos base distribution to the neos directory. After the installation is finished, you should see a message like the following.
Created project in neos
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Package operations: 32 installs, 0 updates, 0 removals
The last step is to configure Apache to serve the Neos application. You can use the following configuration file for Apache.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName neos.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/neos/Web
<Directory /var/www/neos/Web>
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/neos_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/neos_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Change neos.example.com with your domain name or IP address. Save the configuration file to /etc/httpd/conf.d/neos.conf.
After the configuration file is saved, restart the Apache service using the following command.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Neos on Clear Linux. You can now access your Neos installation by opening a web browser and navigating to your server's domain name or IP address. If everything is configured correctly, you should see the Neos setup page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Neos installation.
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!
