In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing FLAP on Debian Latest.

Step 1: Prerequisites

Before we start installing FLAP, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Debian Linux server with root access.
• An SSH client to connect to your server.
• A web browser to access the FLAP web interface.
• An internet connection.

Step 2: Install Docker

FLAP runs on Docker, which means you need to have Docker installed on your server. To install Docker on Debian, follow these steps:

1. Update the package repository:

   sudo apt-get update
   

2. Install the dependencies required to add the Docker repository:

   sudo apt-get install \
      apt-transport-https \
      ca-certificates \
      curl \
      gnupg2 \
      software-properties-common
   

3. Import the Docker GPG key:

   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   

4. Add the Docker repository:

   sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"
   

5. Install Docker:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
   

6. Verify that Docker is installed properly by running the following command:

   sudo docker run hello-world
   

   You will see a "Hello from Docker!" message, confirming that Docker is installed correctly.

Step 3: Install FLAP

Now that we have Docker installed, it's time to install FLAP. Follow these steps:

1. Create a directory for the FLAP installation:

   sudo mkdir -p /opt/flap
   

2. Change the directory to the FLAP directory:

   cd /opt/flap
   

3. Download the latest version of the FLAP installer:

   sudo curl -L https://downloads.flap.cloud/install-full.sh -o install-full.sh
   

4. Assign executable permissions to the installer:

   sudo chmod +x install-full.sh
   

5. Run the installer:

   sudo bash install-full.sh
   

   The installation process will take a few minutes to complete. Once it's done, you'll see a message confirming that FLAP has been installed successfully.

Step 4: Access FLAP Web Interface

Now that FLAP is installed, you can access it through your web browser by visiting:
