Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
To install CMS Made Simple on Fedora, first, we need to install Apache web server, PHP, and MariaDB database server.
To install Apache and PHP, run the following command in the terminal:

To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server
After the installation is complete, start Apache and MariaDB services using the following commands:

You can also enable them to start after every system reboot by running:
sudo systemctl enable httpd mariadb
We need to create a database in MariaDB to install CMS Made Simple. Run the following command to log in to the MariaDB server:
sudo mysql -u root
Once you are in the MariaDB console, execute the following commands to create a database, user and grant administrative privileges:
MariaDB> CREATE DATABASE `CMS`;
MariaDB> CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB> GRANT ALL ON `CMS`.* TO 'admin'@'localhost';
Note: Replace password with a strong password for the admin account.
Once you are done creating the database and user, exit the MariaDB console using the following command:

Set the ownership of the cms directory to the Apache user with the following command:
