Open eClass is an open-source e-learning platform that allows you to create and manage online courses, as well as administer online exams, quizzes, and assignments. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Open eClass on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
The first step in installing Open eClass is to install Git, a version control system that allows you to manage the source code of Open eClass.
To install Git, run the following command:
sudo dnf install git -y
Next, you need to clone the Open eClass repository from GitHub using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/jodumont/openeclass.git /var/www/html/openeclass
To allow Apache to access the Open eClass files, you need to change the ownership of the /var/www/html/openeclass directory to apache:apache using the following command:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/openeclass
Next, you need to install Apache, the web server that will serve the Open eClass files to your users. To install Apache, run the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd -y
After installing Apache, you need to enable the Apache service and start it using the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
Next, you need to configure Apache to serve the Open eClass files. Open the Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf using your favorite text editor and add the following lines at the end of the file:
<Directory "/var/www/html/openeclass">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
To run Open eClass, you also need to install PHP, a popular server-side scripting language that is used to create dynamic web pages. To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-mbstring php-json php-gd -y
After installing PHP, you need to restart the Apache service to apply the changes you made to the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
You can now access Open eClass using your favorite web browser by navigating to <your-server-IP>/openeclass or localhost/openeclass if you are accessing it from the same machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Open eClass on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now start creating and managing online courses, quizzes, and exams using Open eClass.
