Gancio is a free and open-source software for event organization and scheduling. It is designed to help individuals, communities, and organizations manage their events easily. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Gancio on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Update the system

The first step is to update the system to the latest packages. Open the terminal and type the following command to update the system.

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Apache and PHP

Gancio requires a web server and PHP to work. We will install Apache and PHP using the following command.

sudo dnf install httpd php php-pdo php-gd php-curl php-xml -y

After installing Apache and PHP, start the Apache service and enable it to start at boot time.

sudo systemctl start httpd 
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 3: Install MariaDB

Gancio uses MariaDB as its database. We will install MariaDB using the following command.

sudo dnf install mariadb-server -y

After installing MariaDB, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start at boot time.

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 4: Create a Database

Next, log in to the MariaDB shell using the following command.

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password when prompted. Then, create a database for Gancio using the following commands.

CREATE DATABASE gancio;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON gancio.* TO 'gancio_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'gancio_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace gancio_user and gancio_password with your desired username and password.

Step 5: Install Gancio

Download the latest stable version of Gancio using the following command.

sudo wget https://github.com/gancio/gancio/archive/master.zip

After downloading Gancio, extract it using the following command.

sudo unzip master.zip -d /var/www/html/

Next, rename the extracted folder to gancio.

sudo mv /var/www/html/gancio-master /var/www/html/gancio

Then, navigate to the Gancio directory.

cd /var/www/html/gancio

Copy the .env.example file as .env.

sudo cp .env.example .env

Open the .env file in a text editor and set the following parameters.

DB_DATABASE=gancio
DB_USERNAME=gancio_user
DB_PASSWORD=gancio_password

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Install Dependencies

Next, install the Composer package manager using the following command.

sudo dnf install composer -y

After installing Composer, use it to install Gancio's dependencies.

sudo composer install

Step 7: Set Permissions

Set the correct permissions for the Gancio directory and its files.

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/gancio
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/gancio/storage

Step 8: Install Gancio

Finally, run the following command to install Gancio.

sudo php artisan migrate --seed

This will install the necessary database tables and seed the database with demo data.
