How to install AgenDAV on Debian Latest

Introduction

AgenDAV is an open source and multi-platform calendar application that allows users to manage their schedules and events conveniently. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of AgenDAV on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have a few things in place:

Steps

  1. First, you need to update your Debian Latest system to ensure all packages are up to date. Use the following command to perform this task:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
    
  2. Next, you will need to install git to get the AgenDAV source code. Run the command below to install git:

    sudo apt install git -y
    
  3. After git installation, you need to download the latest AgenDAV source code using git. Use the following command to download the source code:

    git clone https://github.com/agendav/agendav.git
    
  4. Once the download is complete, navigate to the agendav directory by running the command below:

    cd agendav
    
  5. Now, you need to install the dependencies required by AgenDAV. Use the following command to install these dependencies:

    sudo apt install php php-intl php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-mysql php-ldap composer -y
    
  6. Next, you need to run composer install to install the remaining dependencies:

    composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader
    
  7. After the installation of all dependencies, you need to configure the application by copying the config/config.php.dist file to config/config.php. Use the following command to copy the file:

    cp config/config.php.dist config/config.php
    
  8. Next, you need to set up the database by editing the config/config.php file. Use your preferred editor to open the file and replace the following placeholders with your database details:

    $config['pdo']['dsn'] = 'mysql:host=YOUR_DB_HOST;dbname=YOUR_DB_NAME;charset=utf8mb4';
    $config['pdo']['username'] = 'YOUR_DB_USER';
    $config['pdo']['password'] = 'YOUR_DB_PASSWORD';
    

    Save and close the file when done.

  9. After configuring the database, you need to create the database tables by running the following command:

    php bin/console.php dav:create-tables
    
  10. Finally, you need to start the PHP built-in server by running the command below:

    php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t public/
    

    Note: You can change the port number and IP address to suit your needs.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed AgenDAV on Debian Latest. Open a web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ to start using AgenDAV.
