Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A system running Clear Linux Latest.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Firstly, update your package manager and install the required dependencies by running the following commands:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic web-server-basic

Step 2: Download PHP Censor

In this step, we will download the latest release of PHP Censor from GitHub. To do so, run the following command:

Step 4: Configure PHP Censor

Edit the config.yml file to match your server environment. You can use a text editor of your choice, such as nano or vim. For example, if you want to set the database configuration, you can edit the following lines:

database:
    adapter: 'pdo_mysql'
    host: 'localhost'
    name: 'php-censor'
    user: 'root'
    pass: ''

Step 5: Run PHP Censor

Now you can run the PHP Censor server by executing the following command:
