Pydio is an open-source file sharing and synchronization platform that lets you access and manage files from anywhere, anytime. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Pydio on Elementary OS Latest.
Before installing Pydio, ensure that your system is up-to-date. Open the terminal and update your system using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Pydio requires a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to run. If you have not installed it already, use the following command to install it:
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set the MySQL root password. Enter your desired password and continue with the installation.
Now that you have installed the LAMP stack let's proceed to install Pydio.
Download the latest stable version of Pydio from their website: https://pydio.com/en/download. Click on the "Download Pydio" button to download the zip archive.
Extract the downloaded archive to the /var/www/ directory using the following command:
sudo unzip pydio-core-8.x.x.zip -d /var/www/
Note: Replace '8.x.x' with the version number you downloaded.
Rename the extracted Pydio directory to 'pydio' using the following command:
sudo mv /var/www/pydio-core-8.x.x /var/www/pydio
Note: Replace '8.x.x' with the version number you downloaded.
Change the ownership of the Pydio directory and files to the Apache user and group using the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/pydio
Create a new MySQL database for Pydio using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE pydio;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pydio.* TO 'pydio'@'localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> exit;
Note: Replace 'your_password' with a strong password of your choice.
Now, navigate to the Pydio directory using the following command:
cd /var/www/pydio
Install Pydio by running the installer script using the following command:
sudo ./bin/install.sh
During the installation process, you will be prompted to provide the database details. Enter the MySQL database name, user, and password that you created in step 5.
Note: If you encounter any compatibility issues, install the dependencies using the following command:
sudo apt-get install php-xml php-zip php-dom php-gd php-curl
After the installation completes successfully, restart Apache using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and enter the following address:
http://localhost/pydio/
You will be redirected to the Pydio login page. Enter the admin username and password that you created during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pydio on your Elementary OS Latest system.
