Open eClass is an open-source learning management system (LMS) that enables educators to create and share course materials, assignments, quizzes, and other learning activities online. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Open eClass on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install some required dependencies on Clear Linux Latest. Run the following command to update the package list:
# swupd update
After updating the package list, install the required dependencies using the following command:
# swupd bundle-add gettext PHP-MySQL PHP-GD PHP-mbstring PHP-mysqli
Next, we need to download the latest version of Open eClass from the official website. Run the following command to download the latest tarball:
# wget https://github.com/eellak/greek-open-eclass/releases/download/v3.6.0/greek-open-eclass-v3.6.0.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the tarball using the following command:
# tar -xvf greek-open-eclass-v3.6.0.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
After extracting the tarball, you need to configure Open eClass. Run the following command to copy the configuration file:
# cp /var/www/html/greek-open-eclass/config-dist.php /var/www/html/greek-open-eclass/config.php
Then, open the configuration file using a text editor:
# nano /var/www/html/greek-open-eclass/config.php
In the configuration file, change the following lines to match your system configuration:
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'openeclass';
$dbusername = 'root';
$dbpassword = 'password';
Save and close the file.
Next, you need to set the correct file permissions for Open eClass. Run the following command to change the ownership of the Open eClass directory:
# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/greek-open-eclass
Then, set the correct file permissions for Open eClass using the following command:
# chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/greek-open-eclass/
Finally, access Open eClass in your web browser by entering your server's IP address or domain name followed by "/greek-open-eclass" in the address bar. For example:

You should now see the Open eClass login page.
