How to Install Open Web Analytics on Clear Linux Latest

Open Web Analytics (OWA) is a popular web analytics platform that provides detailed insights into website traffic and user behavior. Installing OWA on Clear Linux is a straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Set Up Clear Linux

Before you can install Open Web Analytics, you need to set up Clear Linux on your system. You can download Clear Linux from the official website and follow the instructions to install it.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Before you can install OWA, you need to install some required dependencies. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add php-mysqli
sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb
sudo swupd bundle-add nginx

Step 3: Download Open Web Analytics

Next, download the latest version of Open Web Analytics from the official website. You can do this using the following command:

wget https://github.com/Open-Web-Analytics/Open-Web-Analytics/releases/download/1.7.4.1/owa_1.7.4.1.zip

Step 4: Extract Open Web Analytics

Once the download is complete, extract the OWA zip file to the /var/www/ directory with the following command:

sudo unzip owa_1.7.4.1.zip -d /var/www/

Step 5: Set Appropriate Permissions

After extracting the OWA files, you need to set appropriate permissions. To do this, run the following command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owa
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/owa

Step 6: Configure MariaDB

Next, configure the MariaDB database that OWA will use. To do this, first log in to MySQL as the root user:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Once you're logged in, create a new database for OWA:

CREATE DATABASE owa_db;

Next, create a new user and grant it permissions to the OWA database:

CREATE USER 'owa_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owa_db.* TO 'owa_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 7: Configure Nginx

Finally, you need to configure Nginx to serve OWA. To do this, create a new file in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/owa

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;
    root /var/www/owa/;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Be sure to replace "yourdomain.com" with your own domain name. Save and exit the file.

Next, create a symbolic link to enable the site:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/owa /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Finally, restart the Nginx service:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 8: Finish the Installation

Open a web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/owa. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
