Pimcore is an open-source enterprise-ready platform for managing digital data and resources. It allows users to create, manage, and deliver digital experiences across all channels, devices, and platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Pimcore on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
sudo pacman -Syu
Pimcore requires a web server to function. Apache is the recommended web server for Pimcore. Let's install Apache:
sudo pacman -S apache
Enable and start Apache with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
Verify that Apache is running by navigating to http://localhost in your web browser. You should see a page saying "Welcome to EndeavourOS!".
Pimcore requires PHP version 7.2 or higher. We can install PHP and its required extensions with the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache php-gd php-opcache php-pdo php-pgsql php-xml php-intl php-imagick
After the installation is complete, you can verify that PHP is working by creating a PHP info page. Create the file /srv/http/info.php with the following content:
<?php phpinfo();
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now you can navigate to http://localhost/info.php in your web browser to see the PHP info page.
We can now download and install Pimcore. Go to the Pimcore download page (https://www.pimcore.org/download/) and download the latest version. You can download it using the following command or manually download from the website.
sudo wget -O /tmp/pimcore.zip https://www.pimcore.org/download/pimcore-latest.zip
Unzip the downloaded file:
sudo unzip /tmp/pimcore.zip -d /srv/http/
Move the unzipped folder to a directory of your choice. For example:
sudo mv /srv/http/pimcore /srv/http/mywebsite
Set the proper permissions on this directory:
sudo chown -R http /srv/http/mywebsite/
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/mywebsite/
Now, we need to configure Apache to serve our Pimcore installation. First, create a new virtual host file for Pimcore in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/ by running:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/mywebsite.conf
Add the following configurations in the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mywebsite.local
DocumentRoot /srv/http/mywebsite
<Directory /srv/http/mywebsite/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mywebsite-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mywebsite-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. Then, enable the new virtual host configuration by running:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following line to the end of the file:
Include conf/extra/mywebsite.conf
Save and close the file.
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Finally, you can access Pimcore by navigating to http://mywebsite.local in your web browser. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
In conclusion, you now have Pimcore installed and running on EndeavourOS Latest. Feel free to explore this powerful platform and start managing your digital assets with ease!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
