Phorge is a powerful project management tool that allows teams to collaborate on software development projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Phorge on Elementary OS Latest operating system.
Phorge requires Apache web server and MySQL database to be installed on your system. To install them, open your terminal window and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
sudo apt install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a password for the MySQL root user. Make sure to remember this password as you will need it later.
Phorge is built using PHP, so you will need to install it on your system. You will also need to install some additional PHP packages and libraries. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt install php php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-xml php-zip libapache2-mod-php
Before we install Phorge, we need to create a new MySQL database and user for it. To do this, login to the MySQL shell by running the following command:
sudo mysql
Once you are inside the MySQL shell, create a new database and user by running the following SQL commands:
CREATE DATABASE phorge_db;
CREATE USER 'phorge_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phorge_db.* TO 'phorge_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
We can now download and install the latest version of Phorge. In your terminal window, navigate to your Apache web server document root and download the Phorge source code:
cd /var/www/html
sudo curl -L https://download.we.phorge.it/phorge-latest.tar.gz | sudo tar xz
You should now have a new directory called phorge in your document root.
Phorge needs some configuration to work properly. Copy the sample configuration file to a new file called config.php:
cd phorge
sudo cp conf/config.php.sample conf/config.php
Then, edit the config.php file and update the following settings:
base-uri to the URL where you will access Phorge.mysql.host, mysql.user, mysql.pass and mysql.database values to match the MySQL database and user you created in step 3.Phorge is now installed and configured, and it's time to complete the installation. In your web browser, head to the following URL:
http://your_server_ip/phorge/webroot/install.php
Follow the installation wizard to configure Phorge options, including setting up the administration account, and defining the project repositories.
