How to Install IMP on EndeavourOS Latest

IMP is a webmail client that allows users to access their email accounts from anywhere using a web browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install IMP on your EndeavourOS Linux system.

Step 1: Update System

Before installing any new package on your system, it's recommended to update the system. To update the system, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

The above command will fetch the latest package updates from the repository and upgrade the packages that are already installed on your system.

Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

IMP requires a web server to run. In this tutorial, we will be using the Apache web server. To install Apache, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache

Step 3: Install PHP

IMP is written in PHP, so you need to install PHP on your system. To install PHP, run the following command on your terminal:

sudo pacman -S php php-apache

Step 4: Install IMP

To install IMP, you need to add the Horde repository to your system. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman-key --recv-keys ED409DA1363D31A4

sudo pacman-key --lsign-key ED409DA1363D31A4

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

Add the following lines to your /etc/pacman.conf file:

[horde]
SigLevel = Never
Server = https://www.horde.org/releases/horde-latest/archives/$arch

Save and exit the file.

Now run the following command to install IMP:

sudo pacman -Sy imp

Step 5: Configure Apache Web Server for IMP

IMP requires some configuration in the Apache web server. Open the Apache configuration file using your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

Alias /imp "/usr/share/webapps/horde/imp/"
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/horde/imp">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Restart Apache Web Server

After making any changes in the Apache configuration file, it's important to restart the Apache web server. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Access IMP

Now that you have installed and configured IMP, you can access it by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:

http://localhost/imp

IMP will open in your web browser, and you can now use it to access your email accounts.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed IMP on your EndeavourOS Linux system.
