Pico is a fast and lightweight CMS (Content Management System) that can be installed on various Linux distributions. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Pico on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing Pico, we need to install Git on our system. Git is an open-source version control system that allows us to manage and track changes made to our code.
To install Git, run the following command:
sudo dnf install git -y
After installing Git, we need to clone the Pico repository on our system. The Pico repository contains all the necessary files and dependencies required to run Pico.
To clone the Pico repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/picocms/Pico.git
Pico is a PHP-based CMS, so we need to install PHP and its dependencies on our system. We also need to install Composer, which is a package manager for PHP.
To install PHP and Composer, run the following commands:
sudo dnf install php php-cli php-mbstring php-xml -y
sudo dnf install composer -y
After installing PHP and Composer, we need to install the Pico dependencies using Composer. Navigate to the Pico directory using the following command:
cd Pico
Now, run the following command to install the dependencies:
composer install
After installing all the dependencies, we can start the Pico server using the following command:
php -S localhost:8000 -t .
Now, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the Pico welcome screen.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and run Pico on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. Pico is a fast and lightweight CMS that can be used to create static websites quickly and easily.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
