How to Install ICEcoder on Elementary OS Latest

ICEcoder is a web-based code editor that can be installed on your Linux system. It comes with a built-in file navigator, live preview, and support for various programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this tutorial, we will show you how to download and install ICEcoder on the latest version of Elementary OS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Linux-based computer running on the latest version of Elementary OS.
• Access to the internet to download ICEcoder.
• Basic knowledge of the terminal.

Step 1: Install Apache2 Server

The first step is to install the Apache2 webserver on your system. ICEcoder is a web-based code editor, which means that it requires a webserver to run on. To install Apache2, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2

Step 2: Install PHP and Related Packages

ICEcoder is written in PHP, so we need to install PHP and some related packages to run it. Run the following command:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-dev php-mysql php-curl php-json php-zip

Step 3: Install ICEcoder

To install ICEcoder, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest version of ICEcoder from their official website, https://icecoder.net/.

2. Extract the downloaded file to the /var/www/html directory. This directory is the root directory of your Apache2 webserver. You will need root privileges to copy the files to this directory. Run the following command to extract the files:

   sudo unzip ~/Downloads/ICEcoder-[version_number].zip -d /var/www/html
   

   Replace [version_number] with the version number of the ICEcoder you have downloaded.

3. Change the owner of the ICEcoder directory to the Apache2 user. This step is important, as the Apache2 server requires permission to access the files. Run the following command:

   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ICEcoder
   

4. Set the correct permissions on the ICEcoder directory to allow the webserver to read, write and execute the files. Run the following command:

   sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/ICEcoder
   

Step 4: Access ICEcoder

Now that you have installed ICEcoder, you can access it by opening a web browser and typing the following URL in the address bar:

http://localhost/ICEcoder/

You should see the ICEcoder login screen. Enter your desired username and password to get started with ICEcoder.
