How to install Traq on EndeavourOS latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Traq on EndeavourOS Latest.

Step 1: Update and Upgrade your System

Update the Package-list of your system by running following command in the Terminal:

sudo pacman -Syy

Then Upgrade the system to its latest version using following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Traq required following dependencies to be installed in order to run:

• Apache Web Server
• PHP 7.x or later
• MySQL or MariaDB Database Server
• Git

You can install all these dependencies using following command:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb git

Step 3: Create Traq Database

Traq stores its data in a database. Let's create a new database for Traq. Run the following command in the Terminal to access the MySQL shell:

sudo mysql -u root -p

When prompted, enter your root password to access the MySQL shell.

Now, create a new database for Traq using following command:

CREATE DATABASE traq;

Create a new user and grant all permissions to this user on the newly created Traq database using following commands:

CREATE USER 'traquser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON traq.* TO 'traquser'@'localhost';

Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.

Step 4: Install Traq

Let's download Traq from GitHub using Git. Run the following command in the Terminal:

sudo git clone https://github.com/nirix/traq.git /var/www/html/traq

This will download Traq into /var/www/html/traq directory.

Now, create a new VirtualHost for Traq. Open Apache configuration file in editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

        ServerName traq.local
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/traq

        <Directory /var/www/html/traq>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log
        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>```

Save and close the file.

## Step 5: Configure Traq

Create a new configuration file for Traq using following command:

```sudo cp /var/www/html/traq/config.default.php /var/www/html/traq/config.php```

Now, open the configuration file in text editor and make the following changes:

* Change database information to:

$config['db.type'] = 'mysql'; $config['db.host'] = 'localhost'; $config['db.database'] = 'traq'; $config['db.username'] = 'traquser'; $config['db.password'] = 'password';

Replace 'password' with the password you set for the Traquser.

## Step 6: Configure SELinux (optional)

If you are using SELinux, you need to create a new policy for Traq. Run following command to create a policy:

```sudo audit2allow -a -M httpd_t_pread_traq```

This will create a policy file named 'httpd_t_pread_traq.pp'. Now, install this policy using following command:

```sudo semodule -i httpd_t_pread_traq.pp```

## Step 7: Restart Apache

Restart Apache service to apply the changes using following command:

```sudo systemctl restart httpd```

## Step 8: Access Traq

Open your browser and navigate to:

```http://traq.local```

You will see the Traq login page. Enter your login credentials to access Traq.

Congratulations! you have successfully installed Traq on EndeavourOS Latest.
