Eqivo is free and open source software for accounting, invoicing, and inventory management. It is designed for small and medium-sized businesses. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Eqivo on Fedora Server Latest.
Before installing Eqivo, make sure that your Fedora server is up-to-date and all dependencies are installed.
Eqivo runs on a web server, so we need to install Apache and MariaDB to host it. To install Apache, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install httpd
Once Apache is installed, start and enable it with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
Next, we need to install MariaDB, the database management system required by Eqivo. To install MariaDB, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server
Once MariaDB is installed, start and enable it with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Now, we need to create a database and user for Eqivo. Log in to the MariaDB shell with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Once you are in the MariaDB shell, create a new database and user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE eqivo;
CREATE USER 'eqivo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eqivo.* TO 'eqivo'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Eqivo is developed in PHP, so we need to install PHP and required extensions. To install PHP and required extensions, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml php-mbstring
Once you have installed PHP and required extensions, restart Apache with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now, let's download and install Eqivo to your Fedora server. You can download the latest version of Eqivo from the official website: https://eqivo.org/download/
Once you have downloaded the Eqivo package, extract it to the Apache document root directory with the following command:
sudo tar -xvf eqivo-latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/html
Now that Eqivo is installed, we need to configure it to connect to the MariaDB database. Open the Eqivo configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/eqivo/.env
Replace the database settings with the following:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=eqivo
DB_USERNAME=eqivo
DB_PASSWORD=password
Restart Apache with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Eqivo is now installed and configured on your Fedora server. To access Eqivo, open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name: http://localhost/eqivo/
You will see the Eqivo login page. Log in with the following credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin
You can change the admin password and create new users from the Eqivo dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Eqivo on Fedora Server Latest.
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!
