Chamilo LMS is an open-source e-learning platform that offers an easy to use and intuitive interface for instructors to create and deliver online courses. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Chamilo LMS on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before beginning the installation process, you must have:
Make sure the system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Run the following command to install the Apache web server with PHP and required modules:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-xml
Chamilo LMS requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB as our database server. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
After installing MariaDB, start and enable the service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service
Then, secure the MariaDB installation by running the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
To install Chamilo LMS, download the latest version from the official website:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/releases/download/v1.11.14/chamilo-1.11.14.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive:
tar xzvf chamilo-1.11.14.tar.gz
Then, move the extracted directory to the webserver's root directory:
sudo mv chamilo-1.11.14 /srv/http/
Give ownership of the Chamilo LMS directory to the webserver user:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/chamilo-1.11.14/
Log in to MariaDB as the root user:
sudo mariadb -u root -p
Create a new database for Chamilo LMS:
CREATE DATABASE chamilo;
Create a new user and grant them access to the new database:
CREATE USER 'chamilo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chamilo.* TO 'chamilo'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace yourpassword with a strong password of your choice.
Exit the MariaDB shell:
exit;
Copy the config.dist.php file to config.php:
cd /srv/http/chamilo-1.11.14/
cp config.dist.php config.php
Edit the config.php file and modify the following settings:
$configuration['hide_platform_information'] = true;
$configuration['db_type'] = 'mysqli';
$configuration['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$configuration['db_port'] = '3306';
$configuration['db_name'] = 'chamilo';
$configuration['db_user'] = 'chamilo';
$configuration['db_password'] = 'yourpassword';
$configuration['main_url'] = 'http://yourdomain.tld/';
Replace yourpassword with the password you set for the chamilo user in Step 5. Replace yourdomain.tld with the domain name or IP address of your server.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.tld/chamilo-1.11.14/ (replace yourdomain.tld with the domain name or IP address of your server).
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
That's it! You have now successfully installed Chamilo LMS on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now log in to Chamilo LMS with the administrator account and start creating courses.
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!
