In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing DocPHT on EndeavourOS. DocPHT is a lightweight documentation manager designed to help you manage your projects' documentation easily.
Before we start with the installation, we must ensure that we have the following prerequisites:
The first step we will take is to ensure that our EndeavourOS system is updated. To do this, we will open the terminal application and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system to the latest version available.
DocPHT is available on Github. In order to download it, we must have Git installed on our system. To install Git, we will run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S git
After installing Git, we can now proceed to download DocPHT.
To download DocPHT, we will navigate to our desired download location in the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/docpht/docpht.git
This command will clone the DocPHT repository into our current directory.
DocPHT requires several dependencies to be installed before it can run. To install these dependencies, we will run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S php php-gd php-sqlite php-intl php-mbstring php-apcu
This command will install the required dependencies for DocPHT.
DocPHT requires a web server to run. We will use Apache as our web server in this tutorial. To configure Apache, we will run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S apache
After installing Apache, we will enable and start the service using the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
Next, we will configure DocPHT. Navigate to the directory where DocPHT is installed using the terminal and open the "config.php" file:
nano config.php
Replace the "DB_DRIVER", "DB_NAME", "DB_USERNAME", and "DB_PASSWORD" values with your desired settings. Save and exit the file.
To start DocPHT, we will navigate to the directory where it is installed and run the following command in the terminal:
php -S localhost:8000
This command will start DocPHT on port 8000.
To access DocPHT, we will open our web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:8000
This will open DocPHT in our web browser, and we can now start using it to manage our projects' documentation.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install DocPHT on EndeavourOS. With DocPHT's lightweight and user-friendly interface, we can easily manage our projects' documentation without any hassle.
