In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Moodle on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Moodle is an open-source learning platform designed to provide educators, administrators, and learners with a robust, secure, and integrated system.
Before you start, ensure that you have met the following requirements:
To begin, we need to install the required dependencies on our system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml php-intl php-opcache httpd mysql-server -y
Next, download the latest version of Moodle from the official website or use the following command to download it via the terminal:
sudo wget https://download.moodle.org/download.php/direct/stable311/moodle-latest-311.tgz
After downloading the Moodle, extract it into the webroot directory. For example, if your webroot directory is /var/www/html, use the following command:
sudo tar -zxvf moodle-latest-311.tgz -C /var/www/html/
We need to create a new database for Moodle to use. To create a new database, log in to your MySQL server using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Then, run the following SQL commands to create a new database and user:
CREATE DATABASE moodle;
CREATE USER 'moodleuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON moodle.* TO 'moodleuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace the moodleuser and password values with your desired username and password.
We need to set the correct file permissions for Moodle to work correctly. Run the following command to set the correct permissions:
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/moodle
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/moodle
Now, we can proceed to perform the actual Moodle installation. Navigate to the http://<your_server_ip_address>/moodle URL in your browser. You should see the following page:
