TimeOff.Management is a web-based employee time-off tracking application. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the installation process of TimeOff.Management on the latest version of Clear Linux using a few simple commands.
Before proceeding, you’ll need to ensure you have the following:
The first step is to install the required dependencies for TimeOff.Management. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic web-server-basic devpkg-libmemcached
Once the dependencies are installed, download the latest version of TimeOff.Management from their official website, using the following command:
sudo wget https://timeoff.management/latest.tar.gz
After downloading, extract the downloaded TimeOff.Management file using the following command:
sudo tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
This command will extract the files from the TimeOff.Management archive to the /var/www/html/ directory.
Next, adjust permissions for the TimeOff.Management directory by running the following commands:
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/html/timeoff/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/timeoff/
Now, you need to configure TimeOff.Management by creating the database, modifying configuration files, and creating an administrator account.
To do so, execute the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This will open the MySQL console. Now, create a new database and user for TimeOff.Management by running the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE timeoffdb;
CREATE USER 'timeoff'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password123';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON timeoffdb.* TO 'timeoff'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
After creating the database, it’s time to modify the configuration files. Open the configuration file by running the following command:
sudo vi /var/www/html/timeoff/configs/timeoff.php
Find the following lines in the file:
$config['db_name'] = 'to';
$config['db_username'] = 'to';
$config['db_password'] = 'xxxxxx';
Replace them with:
$config['db_name'] = 'timeoffdb';
$config['db_username'] = 'timeoff';
$config['db_password'] = 'password123';
Save and close the file.
Finally, navigate to the TimeOff.Management installation URL in your browser by entering http://localhost/timeoff/install in the URL bar.
Follow the instructions to set up an administrator account and finalize the installation process.
Once you have completed the installation process, you can access the TimeOff.Management dashboard by entering http://localhost/timeoff/ in your browser's URL bar.
That’s it! You’ve successfully installed TimeOff.Management on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start using it for tracking employee time and managing time-off requests.
