TYPO3 is a free and open-source content management system used for building websites, intranets, and web applications. If you want to use it on your Elementary OS latest system, you can follow these steps:
Before installing TYPO3 on Elementary OS, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Ensure that all these requirements are fulfilled before proceeding with the TYPO3 installation process.
Follow the below steps to install TYPO3:
First, visit the TYPO3 download page and download the latest version of TYPO3. You can choose either the "Source package" or "Introduction package", depending on your requirements.
Before installing TYPO3, you need to install some necessary dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip curl
This command will install the zip and unzip utilities, as well as curl, which is required for downloading TYPO3 packages.
Once the ZIP file is downloaded, extract it in your web server's document root folder. You can do this with the following command:
sudo unzip typo3_x.x.x.zip -d /var/www/html/
Replace "x.x.x" with the version number you downloaded.
Now, create a new MySQL database for TYPO3. To do this, run the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
Once in the MySQL shell, run this command to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE typo3db;
Replace "typo3db" with the name of the database you want to use for TYPO3.
When the database is created, create a new user and grant privileges to access the new database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON typo3db.* TO 'typo3user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
Replace "typo3user" with the desired username and "your_password" with a strong password.
Finally, exit the MySQL shell with this command:
exit
To install TYPO3, navigate to the TYPO3 directory in the terminal:
cd /var/www/html/typo3_x.x.x/
Next, run the following command to install TYPO3:
composer install
This command installs all the required PHP dependencies for TYPO3.
Once the dependencies are installed, you need to run the TYPO3 Installer to complete the installation process. In your web browser, go to:
http://your_ip_address/typo3_x.x.x/typo3/install.php
Replace "your_ip_address" with the IP address of your server.
This will open the TYPO3 installation wizard. Follow the instructions to complete the installation. When prompted for a database connection, enter the database details you created earlier.
When the installation is complete, you can log in to the TYPO3 backend by going to:
http://your_ip_address/typo3_x.x.x/typo3/
Enter the admin username and password you created during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TYPO3 on your Elementary OS Latest system.
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!
