In this tutorial, we will learn how to install OrangeHRM on EndeavourOS Latest. OrangeHRM is an open-source HR management software that provides a suite of modules to manage various aspects of HR management.
You should have the following before you begin this tutorial:
Before installing any packages, it is recommended to update the system to the latest packages. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo pacman -Syu
OrangeHRM requires some packages to be installed on the system. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb
This command will install an Apache web server, PHP, PHP-Apache module, and MariaDB database server.
OrangeHRM requires a database to store its data. We will create a database and a user for OrangeHRM to use. Run the following commands to create a database:
sudo mariadb
This will open a MariaDB prompt. Run the following commands at the prompt:
CREATE DATABASE orangehrm;
CREATE USER 'orangehrmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON orangehrm.* TO 'orangehrmuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace "password" with a strong password.
Download the latest version of OrangeHRM from their website using the following command:
wget https://files.orangehrm.com/latest.zip
Unzip the downloaded file using the following command:
unzip latest.zip
Move the extracted files to the Apache web server's document root directory:
sudo mv OrangeHRM-4.3.2/ /srv/http/orangehrm
To configure Apache for OrangeHRM, create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/orangehrm.conf
Add the following content to the file:

Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "/srv/http/orangehrm/"
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/orangehrm-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/orangehrm-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
Replace "orangehrm.example.com" with your domain name or IP address. Save the file and exit the editor.
Enable and start the Apache web server:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
Open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://orangehrm.example.com/install.php
Replace "orangehrm.example.com" with your domain name or IP address.
