Pagekit is a modern, open-source content management system (CMS) that is designed to be fast, easy to use, and user-friendly. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Pagekit on EndeavourOS Latest. The process consists of the following steps:
To run Pagekit, you need a web server and PHP. EndeavourOS Latest already has a package manager with pacman preinstalled, which simplifies the installation process.
To install Apache web server and PHP, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-mysql php-pgsql php-sqlite php-xml
After the installation, start the Apache web server by running the following command:
systemctl start httpd.service
You can verify that Apache is running by opening a web browser and browsing to http://localhost/. You should see an Apache welcome page.
Pagekit requires a database to store its content. You can choose between MySQL or MariaDB. To install MariaDB on EndeavourOS Latest, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
After the installation, start the MariaDB service by running the following command:
systemctl start mariadb.service
Next, run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:
mysql_secure_installation
This command will prompt you to set a root password, and ask a series of questions to secure your database.
You can download Pagekit from the official website. Once downloaded, extract the archive to the web server's document root, which is /srv/http/.
sudo tar xvzf pagekit-1.0.18.zip -C /srv/http/
Before you can install Pagekit, you need to create a database and user for it. You can do this with the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
This will open the MariaDB shell. Enter the following commands to create a database and user for Pagekit:
CREATE DATABASE pagekit;
CREATE USER 'pagekituser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password-here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pagekit.* TO 'pagekituser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace 'your-password-here' with a secure password.
Now that you have installed Pagekit, you need to configure it. To do this, navigate to http://localhost/ in your web browser. You should see the Pagekit installation wizard.
Follow the prompts to install Pagekit. When asked for database information, enter the following:
Once installation is complete, you can log in to Pagekit by navigating to http://localhost/admin in your web browser.
That's it! You have successfully installed Pagekit on EndeavourOS Latest. Now you can start creating content, managing your site, and enjoying the benefits of a modern, open-source CMS.
