How to Install Phabricator on Clear Linux Latest

Overview

Phabricator is a collection of web applications that help software companies build better software, faster. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Phabricator on Clear Linux Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

1. Clear Linux Latest installed on your system
2. A web server (such as Apache or Nginx)
3. MySQL or MariaDB database server
4. A user account with administrator permissions

Step 1: Update Clear Linux

Before beginning the installation of Phabricator, it is important to ensure that our Clear Linux system is up-to-date. To update Clear Linux, we can run:

sudo swupd update

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Next, we'll need to install some dependencies that Phabricator requires. Run the following command to install these dependencies:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic php-mysqlnd php-gd mariadb

Step 3: Install Apache

We'll use Apache as our web server, so let's install it using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add apache-httpd

Once the installation is complete, we can start the Apache service using:

sudo systemctl start httpd

To ensure that Apache starts automatically upon system boot, run:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 4: Install and Configure MariaDB

We'll use MariaDB as our database server. Install MariaDB using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb

After the installation is complete, start the MariaDB service using:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

And ensure that the service starts automatically at boot time using:

sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Now, we need to secure our MariaDB installation by running the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompts to complete the process. Be sure to set a secure password for the MariaDB root user.

Step 5: Install and Configure Phabricator

We are now ready to install Phabricator. Download the latest version of Phabricator from their website (https://phabricator.org/) and extract it to the web server's document root directory. In this tutorial, we'll extract the archive to /var/www/html.

cd /var/www/html

sudo wget https://github.com/phacility/phabricator/archive/master.zip

sudo unzip master.zip

Rename the extracted directory to something more manageable:

sudo mv phabricator-master phabricator

Next, we need to create a database and user for Phabricator to use. Log in to the MariaDB client as root:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE phabricator;

Create a new user and grant privileges by running:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phabricator.* TO 'phabricatoruser'@'localhost';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;```

Replace 'password' with a strong password for the user.

Now, we need to configure Phabricator. Copy the configuration template file to a new file:

```sudo cp /var/www/html/phabricator/conf/local/local.json.sample /var/www/html/phabricator/conf/local/local.json```

Then, edit the `local.json` file to enter the MySQL credentials you set up earlier:

```sudo nano /var/www/html/phabricator/conf/local/local.json```

Edit the following section with your MySQL credentials:

```"mysql.host": "localhost",
"mysql.user": "phabricatoruser",
"mysql.pass": "password",
"mysql.port": "3306",
"mysql.charset": "utf8mb4",```

Save and close the file.

Finally, we need to configure Apache to serve Phabricator. Create a new virtual host configuration file using:

```sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phabricator.conf```

Copy the following configuration into this file:

<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phabricator/webroot <Directory "/var/www/html/phabricator/webroot"> Require all granted AllowOverride All Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/phabricator_error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/phabricator_access.log combined

Save and close the file, then restart Apache using:

```sudo systemctl restart httpd```

## Step 6: Access Phabricator in a Web Browser

We have successfully installed and configured Phabricator on Clear Linux. To access Phabricator, open a web browser and navigate to `http://<server-ip>/phabricator/`. You will be prompted to create an administrative account before you can start using Phabricator.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Phabricator on Clear Linux Latest!
