Admidio is an open source membership management software that enables groups and organizations to manage membership data, organize events, and communicate with members. Here's how to install Admidio on the latest version of Elementary OS.
Before installing Admidio, you'll need to make sure your system is up to date by running the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Admidio requires a web server to run on, so you'll need to install Apache on your system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt install apache2
Once the installation is complete, start the Apache service by running:
sudo systemctl start apache2
You can verify that the web server is installed and running by visiting http://localhost in your web browser.
Admidio is built with PHP, so you'll need to install PHP and some necessary extensions. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-xml php-mbstring
To ensure that Apache is configured to run Admidio correctly, you'll need to make a few changes to the Apache configuration file. Open the file with the command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Then, add the following lines after the DocumentRoot /var/www/html line:
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and finally Enter.
Next, restart the Apache service to apply the changes by running:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Visit the Admidio website at admidio.org/">https://www.admidio.org/ and download the latest version of Admidio.

Then, unzip the Admidio package:
sudo apt install unzip
unzip admidio-4.2.1.zip
sudo mv admidio-4.2.1 /var/www/html/admidio
You will also need to set permissions on the Admidio directory to allow writing:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/admidio
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/admidio
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/admidio/templates_c /var/www/html/admidio/conf /var/www/html/admidio/log
