TYPO3 is a popular free and open-source content management system (CMS) that you can use to create and manage web content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing TYPO3 on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing TYPO3, it is recommended to update the Clear Linux system to ensure that all packages are up-to-date. To update the system, run the following command on your terminal:
sudo swupd update
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the update process to complete.
TYPO3 is a PHP-based CMS, so you need to set up a web server with a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) before installing TYPO3. Clear Linux has the Apache web server, PHP, and MySQL server packages available in its repository.
To install the LAMP stack, use the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add lamp-server
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the installation process to complete.
Now that you have the LAMP stack installed, you can proceed with installing TYPO3 on Clear Linux. The easiest way to install TYPO3 is to download it from the official website (https://typo3.org/download/) and extract the archive to your web server's document root directory.
First, navigate to the document root directory, which is /srv/www/htdocs by default in Clear Linux, with this command:
cd /srv/www/htdocs
Next, download the TYPO3 archive with the following command:
sudo curl -sL https://get.typo3.org/10.4.21 | tar xzv
In the above command, change the version number (10.4.21) to the latest version available on the TYPO3 website.
Once the TYPO3 archive is extracted, rename the extracted directory with a shorter name:
sudo mv typo3-10.4.21 typo3
TYPO3 requires a MySQL database to store its data. Run the following command to log into the MySQL server:
sudo mysql -u root
Create a new database and a new user for TYPO3 with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE typo3;
CREATE USER typo3user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON typo3.* TO typo3user@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Change the password 'password' to a strong and unique password.
TYPO3 needs write access to certain files and directories to function properly. Run the following commands to set the correct file permissions:
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/typo3
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/www/htdocs/typo3
sudo chmod -R 777 /srv/www/htdocs/typo3/fileadmin
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/typo3. You should see the TYPO3 installer page. Follow the instructions and enter the MySQL database details when prompted.
Once the installation is complete, TYPO3 will present you with a login page. Log in with the username and password you set during the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TYPO3 on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start creating and managing web content with TYPO3.
