In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WikiSuite on Elementary OS Latest. WikiSuite is a powerful set of tools for collaboration, communication, and productivity. It includes a wiki, email, calendar, file sharing, and much more.
Before we start, you need to have the following:
The first step is to install the LAMP stack, which will provide the necessary server environment to run WikiSuite.
To do this, open the terminal on your Elementary OS Latest and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php7.4 php-mysql
This command installs Apache webserver, MySQL server, PHP, and the necessary PHP packages to connect to MySQL.
Next, download the latest version of WikiSuite from the official website: https://wikisuite.org/download.
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choosing. You can do this using the following command:
tar -xvf wikisuite-<version>.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the version number of the downloaded file.
Now, we need to move the extracted WikiSuite folder to the Apache root directory. To do this, run the following command:
sudo mv wikisuite /var/www/html
This will move the WikiSuite folder to the default document root of Apache, which is /var/www/html.
Next, we need to change the ownership and permissions of the WikiSuite folder. Use the following commands:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wikisuite
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/wikisuite
This will set the ownership and permissions of the WikiSuite folder to the Apache user, which is www-data, and make sure that all files have the correct permissions.
Next, we need to create a MySQL database and user for WikiSuite. To do this, log in to MySQL using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Then, run the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE wikidatabase;
CREATE USER 'wikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wikipass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wikidatabase.* TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace wikidatabase, wikiuser, and wikipass with the values of your choosing.
Now, we are ready to install WikiSuite. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/wikisuite/install. You should see the WikiSuite installation screen.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install WikiSuite. When you come to the database setup screen, enter the database details you created in the previous step.
Once the installation is complete, you will be able to access WikiSuite by navigating to http://localhost/wikisuite in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install WikiSuite on Elementary OS Latest. By following the steps above, you should now have a fully functional WikiSuite installation. Enjoy!
