Before installing Thelia, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• EndeavourOS Linux installed on your machine

• MySQL server

Step 1: Install Apache Web Server

The first step to install Thelia on EndeavourOS is to install the Apache web server. You can do this by running the following command:

Once the installation is complete, start the Apache web server:

sudo systemctl start httpd

You can also set Apache to start automatically on boot:

Step 2: Install MariaDB

Next, you need to install the MariaDB server, which will be used to store the Thelia database. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S mariadb

Once the installation is complete, start the MariaDB server:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

You can also set MariaDB to start automatically on boot:

sudo systemctl enable mariadb

To secure MariaDB server, run:

Step 3: Install PHP and Required Extensions

Now you need to install PHP and the required extensions. You can install PHP and the extensions by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-gd php-intl php-mcrypt php-pdo php-zip

Step 4: Install Thelia

You can download the latest version of Thelia from the official website using the following command:

wget https://thelia.net/releases/thelia_2.4.4.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file:

tar -zxvf thelia_2.4.4.tar.gz

Now move the extracted files to the Apache web server document root:

sudo mv thelia_2.4.4 /srv/http/thelia

Next, change the ownership of the Thelia directory to the Apache user:

sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/thelia

Step 5: Create a MySQL database and User for Thelia

CREATE USER 'thelia'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';

Grant privileges to the newly created user on the thelia database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON thelia.* TO 'thelia'@'localhost';

Flush the privileges:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Exit the MySQL prompt:

exit

Step 6: Configure Thelia
