QloApps is an open-source hotel management system based on the popular e-commerce platform PrestaShop. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install QloApps on Elementary OS.
Before installing QloApps, you need to have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download QloApps from the official website. Go to https://qloapps.com/download/ and download the latest release.
After downloading the QloApps package, extract it to a directory of your choice. You can do this with the following command:
sudo tar -xvzf QloApps_x.xx.xx.xxxx.tar.gz
Replace "QloApps_x.xx.xx.xxxx.tar.gz" with the name of the package you downloaded.
Move the extracted QloApps directory to your web root directory. This can be done with the following command:
sudo mv QloApps /var/www/html/
You need to create a MySQL database for QloApps to store its data. This can be done with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root user password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE qloapps;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON qloapps.* TO 'qloappsuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT
Replace "yourpassword" with a strong password of your choice.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/QloApps/. Follow the on-screen instructions to install QloApps.
After the installation is complete, log in to the QloApps admin panel at http://yourdomain.com/QloApps/admin. Use the credentials you provided during installation.
Edit the "config/settings.inc.php" file and update the database details with the details you used during the MySQL database creation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed QloApps on Elementary OS. You can now start using QloApps to manage your hotel.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
