SilverStripe is an open-source content management system (CMS) that is built with PHP. It is easy to install and use for both developers and non-developers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install SilverStripe on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we start the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
First, we need to download the SilverStripe package from the SilverStripe website. To do this, open a terminal and run the following commands:
$ sudo su
$ cd /var/www/html
$ wget https://www.silverstripe.org/assets/releases/SilverStripe-cms-v5.5.1.tar.gz
This will download the latest version of SilverStripe and save it to your web server's document root.
Once the download is complete, we need to extract the archive to the web server's document root. To do this, run the following command:
$ tar -zxvf SilverStripe-cms-v5.5.1.tar.gz
This will extract the archive and create a new directory called SilverStripe-cms-v5.5.1 in your web server's document root.
Next, we need to configure the permissions for the SilverStripe directory. To do this, run the following commands:
$ sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/SilverStripe-cms-v5.5.1/ -R
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/SilverStripe-cms-v5.5.1/
This will set the appropriate ownership and permissions for the SilverStripe directory.
SilverStripe requires a database to store its data. In this step, we will configure the database. To do this, log in to your MySQL or MariaDB server:
$ mysql -u root -p
Then create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE silverstripe_db;
Next, create a new MySQL user:
CREATE USER 'silverstripe_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'newpassword';
Grant privileges to the new user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON silverstripe_db.* TO 'silverstripe_user'@'localhost';
Finally, run the following command to save the changes:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now, our server is ready for installing SilverStripe. Open your web browser and move to http://localhost/SilverStripe-cms-v5.5.1/install.php.
The installation process is straightforward, and it will guide you through the entire process. You will be prompted to provide the database connection details, including the database name, username, and password. The installation will create a configuration file mysite/_config.php and will give you an administrative username and password.
The installation is complete! You can now browse your new SilverStripe site at http://localhost/SilverStripe-cms-v5.5.1/.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install SilverStripe on EndeavourOS Latest. We went through the process of downloading the SilverStripe package, extracting it, setting the correct permissions, and configuring the database. Finally, we launched the installation process of SilverStripe to get our website up and running.
