Tiki is a powerful open-source wiki software that can be used to create websites, intranets, and online collaboration platforms. Installing Tiki on EndeavourOS is easy and straightforward. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Tiki on EndeavourOS Latest using the command line.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to update your EndeavourOS system to the latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the installed packages on your system.
Tiki requires a web server to function. We will be using Apache, which is a popular and reliable web server. To install Apache, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache
After the installation is complete, start Apache and enable it to start automatically at boot time with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
Tiki also requires a database server. We will be using MariaDB, which is a popular and robust database server. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
After the installation is complete, start MariaDB and enable it to start automatically at boot time with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Next, we need to create a database and user for Tiki to use. Log in to the MariaDB console with the following command:
sudo mysql
Enter your MariaDB root password when prompted. Then, create a new database and user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE tikidatabase;
CREATE USER 'tikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tikidatabase.* TO 'tikiuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace tikidatabase, tikiuser, and password with the desired database name, database user, and password.
Exit the MariaDB console with the following command:
exit
Tiki is written in PHP and requires some PHP extensions to function. To install PHP and the required extensions, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache php-gd php-curl php-dom php-imagick php-intl php-json php-mbstring php-mysql php-xml
After the installation is complete, restart Apache with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
Finally, we can download and install Tiki. Open the terminal and download the Tiki tarball with the following command:
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tikiwiki/Tiki_22.x_LTS/tiki-22.3.tar.bz2
Unpack the Tiki tarball with the following command:
tar xvf tiki-22.3.tar.bz2
Move the Tiki files to the Apache web server document root with the following command:
sudo mv tiki-22.3 /srv/http/
Change the ownership of the Tiki files to the Apache user with the following command:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/tiki-22.3
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Tiki installation wizard by navigating to http://localhost/tiki-22.3/ in your web browser. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Tiki.
During the installation, you will need to enter the database information that you created in Step 4.
Once the installation is complete, you can log in to Tiki using the default username admin and password admin.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tiki on EndeavourOS Latest. With Tiki, you can create powerful and collaborative websites and intranets.
