How to Install OpenNote on EndeavourOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install OpenNote, an open-source application for note-taking, on EndeavourOS Latest.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before we can install OpenNote, we need to ensure that the required dependencies are installed. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb

This command installs Apache web server, PHP, and MariaDB.

Step 2: Download and Extract OpenNote

Next, we need to download and extract the OpenNote source files from Github. Run the following commands:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/FoxUSA/OpenNote.git
sudo mv OpenNote /srv/http/

This will clone the OpenNote repository and move it to the Apache web server directory.

Step 3: Configure Database

OpenNote uses the MariaDB database to store notes. We need to create a database and a user account for OpenNote to use.

Run the following commands to create a database and user:

sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE opennote;
CREATE USER 'opennote' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON opennote.* TO 'opennote';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Replace 'password' with a strong password.

Step 4: Configure Apache Web Server

Now we need to configure Apache web server to serve OpenNote. Run the following command:

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

Find the following lines in the file:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

Replace them with:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /srv/http/OpenNote/public>
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

This allows OpenNote to override the Apache web server settings and grants permission to access the OpenNote directory.

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Finish OpenNote Installation

Finally, we need to complete the OpenNote installation by visiting http://localhost/OpenNote in a web browser. This will open the OpenNote setup wizard.

Follow the steps in the setup wizard, entering the database details created in Step 3 when prompted.

Once the setup is complete, OpenNote is ready to use.

Conclusion

By following these steps, OpenNote can be easily installed on an EndeavourOS Latest system. With OpenNote installed, users can take and organize their notes conveniently.
