MeTube is an open source video sharing platform that allows users to upload, share and view videos. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MeTube on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
If you don't have the above software installed, you can install them using the following commands:
Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git apache mysql php composer
Next, install Laravel using the following command:

Open the terminal and run the following command to clone the MeTube repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/alexta69/metube.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the MeTube directory using the following command:
cd metube
MeTube uses MySQL as its database engine. To create a new database, run the following command in the terminal:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password for MySQL and run the following command to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE metube;
Next, create a new user for the MeTube database using the following command:

Replace the 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Grant privileges to the MeTube database user using the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON metube.* TO 'metubeuser'@'localhost';
Exit the MySQL prompt using the following command:
EXIT;
MeTube requires the .env file to run correctly. In the MeTube directory, create a copy of the .env.example file and rename it to .env using the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Open the .env file in your preferred text editor and make the following changes:
APP_NAME=MeTube
APP_URL=http://localhost
DB_DATABASE=metube

MeTube uses Composer to manage its dependencies. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

Once the dependencies are installed, run the following command to generate a key:

Run the following command to migrate the database:

Next, run the following command to seed the database:
