How to Install Accent on Fedora Server

Accent is a sleek and customizable review platform that allows small businesses to get genuine reviews and insights from their customers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Accent on your Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

To install Accent on Fedora Server, you must first ensure that you have the following installed:

Step 1 – Download Accent

To start, download the latest version of Accent from their official website - https://www.accent.reviews/.

Step 2 – Extract Accent

After downloading Accent, extract the contents of the archive to the directory of your choice using the following command:

tar -xzvf accent-latest.tar.gz

Step 3 – Move Files

After extraction, move the Accent files to your Apache web root directory. The default directory is /var/www/html/. You can move the files using the following command:

sudo mv accent /var/www/html/

Step 4 – Set Permissions

After moving the Accent files to the appropriate directory, it is necessary to set appropriate permissions. You can set the permission for the Accent files and directories using the command below:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/accent

Step 5 – Create a MySQL Database

Next, you will need to create a MySQL database and a user for Accent. You can do this using the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

This will open the MySQL prompt. Run the following commands to create a new database, a new user with the necessary privileges and grant them access to the database:

CREATE DATABASE accent;
CREATE USER 'accent'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON accent.* TO 'accent'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Replace "password" with your specific desired password for the Accent user.

Step 6 – Configure .env File

Create an .env file within the Accent directory and configure it with your MySQL database details. Copy the .env.example file to a new .env file using the following command:

cp /var/www/html/accent/.env.example /var/www/html/accent/.env

Then open the .env file and update the database configuration to match the details of the MySQL database that was created in Step 5, as below:

DB_DATABASE=accent
DB_USERNAME=accent
DB_PASSWORD=password

Save and close the .

Step 7 – Install Dependecies

Within the Accent directory, run the following command to install composer and the required Accent dependencies:

sudo yum install composer
