How to Install Jirafeau on Elementary OS Latest

Jirafeau is an open-source file hosting and sharing application that allows users to securely share files with others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Jirafeau on Elementary OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• You have a Linux operating system installed with root access. In this tutorial, we will use Elementary OS Latest.
• You have Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed on your system.

Step 1: Download Jirafeau

First, you need to download the latest version of Jirafeau from the official website. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

$ wget https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/-/archive/4.3.0/Jirafeau-4.3.0.tar.gz

Step 2: Extract Jirafeau

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command:

$ tar -xzf Jirafeau-4.3.0.tar.gz

Step 3: Move Jirafeau to Web Directory

Next, move the Jirafeau directory to your web directory "/var/www/html". You can do this by running the following command:

$ sudo mv Jirafeau-4.3.0 /var/www/html/jirafeau

Step 4: Set Permissions

For Jirafeau to work properly, you need to set the correct permissions for the files and directories. You can do this by running the following commands:

$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/jirafeau
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/jirafeau

Step 5: Create a Database

Now, you need to create a database for Jirafeau. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:

$ sudo mysql -u root -p```

mysql> CREATE DATABASE jirafeau; mysql> CREATE USER 'jirafeau'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON jirafeau . * TO 'jirafeau'@'localhost'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> EXIT;

Make sure to replace "password" with your own secure password.

Step 6: Configure Jirafeau

Next, you need to configure Jirafeau. Open the configuration file "config.local.php" located inside the "jirafeau" directory using the following command:

$ sudo nano /var/www/html/jirafeau/config.local.php

Look for the following lines and replace them with the values given below:

$CONF['db'] = 'mysql:://USER:PASSWORD@localhost/DATABASE';
$CONF['admin_passwd'] = '';

Replace these lines with:

$CONF['db'] = 'mysql://jirafeau:password@localhost/jirafeau';
$CONF['admin_passwd'] = 'yourpassword';

Make sure to replace the "password" and "yourpassword" with your secure passwords.

## Step 7: Complete Installation 

Finally, visit your website at "http://localhost/jirafeau/install.php" and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Once the installation is complete, delete the "install.php" file using the following command:

$ sudo rm /var/www/html/jirafeau/install.php
