Tutorial: How to Install ICEcoder on EndeavourOS Latest

Introduction

ICEcoder is an open-source code editor that runs entirely in the browser. It allows you to code in different programming languages, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, directly from your browser window. In this tutorial, we will cover how to install ICEcoder on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:

• A system running EndeavourOS Latest.
• A terminal window.

Steps to Install ICEcoder

1. Open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or through the application menu.

2. Update the package manager and upgrade the system to the latest software version by running the following command:

   sudo pacman -Syu
   

3. Install the Apache web server, PHP, and other required dependencies by running the following command:

   sudo pacman -S apache php php-cgi php-gd php-sqlite
   

4. Start the Apache web server and set it to start automatically at boot time by running the following command:

   sudo systemctl enable httpd && sudo systemctl start httpd
   

5. Download ICEcoder from the official website by running the following command:

   wget https://icecoder.net/download-zip
   

6. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to the root directory of the Apache web server, /srv/http:

   sudo unzip download-zip -d /srv/http
   

7. Rename the extracted directory to icecoder:

   sudo mv /srv/http/ICEcoder* /srv/http/icecoder
   

8. Set the appropriate permissions for the icecoder directory and its contents:

   sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/icecoder
   sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/icecoder
   

9. Create a new virtual host file for ICEcoder by running the following command:

   sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/icecoder.conf
   

10. Add the following lines to the virtual host file and save the changes:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
      DocumentRoot /srv/http/icecoder
      ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
      CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>
    

11. Enable the new virtual host and reload the Apache web server configuration by running the following commands:

    sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/icecoder.conf /etc/httpd/conf/available/
    sudo systemctl reload httpd
    

12. Open a browser of your choice and go to the following address:

    http://localhost/icecoder
    

13. You should now see the ICEcoder login page. To log in, use the default username admin and password icecoder.

14. Once you have logged in, change your password to something more secure by clicking on User Settings in the top-right corner and then click on Change Password.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install ICEcoder on EndeavourOS Latest. You also learned how to configure Apache web server and create a virtual host for ICEcoder. With ICEcoder installed, you can now begin coding and building web applications directly from your browser window.

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!
