PHPBack is an open-source web application that helps you manage your projects and tasks. Here's a tutorial on how to install PHPBack on Elementary OS Latest.
PHPBack requires a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to work. If you have not installed the stack yet, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
After installing the LAMP stack, you can test it by creating a phpinfo.php file in your web directory (/var/www/html/), and accessing it through your web browser.
sudo nano /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
Add the following lines to the phpinfo.php file:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Save and exit the file (Ctrl+X, Y, Enter), and then visit localhost/phpinfo.php in your web browser. If everything's working, you should see a PHP information page.
PHPBack requires the following packages:
php-curlphp-xmlphp-mbstringYou can install these packages by running the following command:
