Quizmaster is a free and open-source quiz platform developed by Jens Nyman. It enables you to create and conduct online quizzes for assess student knowledge, build interactive games, and more. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to install Quizmaster on Debian latest.
Before we begin, make sure your Debian system has the following prerequisites:
To install Apache and PHP, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
After the installation is complete, start the Apache service:
sudo systemctl start apache2
To verify that Apache is running, open your web browser and visit http://localhost. If Apache is running, you should see the default Apache web page.
To install MySQL server, run the following command:
sudo apt install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root user password for MySQL.
After the installation is complete, start the MySQL service:
sudo systemctl start mysql
To verify that MySQL is running, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status mysql
To download Quizmaster, clone the Quizmaster Git repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nymanjens/quizmaster.git
Next, move the cloned Quizmaster directory to the Apache document root directory:
sudo mv quizmaster /var/www/html/
To grant the appropriate permissions for the Quizmaster directory, run the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/quizmaster
After setting the permissions, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/quizmaster. You should see the Quizmaster installation page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. You will need to enter the MySQL database details and create a Quizmaster administrator user account.
After the installation is complete, remove the Quizmaster installation directory using the following command:
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/quizmaster/install
Finally, restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
You can now log in to Quizmaster using the administrator account created during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Quizmaster on Debian latest. You can now use Quizmaster to create and conduct online quizzes.
