How to Install Plone on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Plone CMS on a Fedora Server latest in order to set up a website.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of Fedora Server latest
• Access to the terminal with root privileges
• A stable internet connection

Step 1: Update System

To begin with, make sure that your Fedora Server is up to date by running the following command in your terminal:

dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Dependencies for Plone

Plone is built on top of Python and Zope, so first of all, we need to install the necessary packages that are required for Plone. Execute the following commands to install them:

dnf install -y nano wget
dnf install -y gcc
dnf install -y zlib-devel openssl-devel bzip2-devel 
dnf install -y libffi-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel

Step 3: Install Python

Plone requires a specific version of Python to function properly. So, we are using Python 2.7 to avoid any compatibility issues.

To install Python 2.7, execute the following commands:

dnf install -y python2

Step 4: Download Plone

With Python installed, let's move on to downloading the latest stable version of Plone.

Head over to the official website at https://plone.org/download/releases and find the latest version for Fedora Server latest, copy the download link to your clipboard.

Navigate back to your terminal and execute the following command to download Plone:

wget <Paste the link here>

Step 5: Install Plone

Once downloaded, extract the archive and change the directory to the extracted folder, and then execute the following command:

./install.sh standalone --target=/opt/plone --instance=plone zeo

This command will install Plone and other necessary components in the /opt/plone directory and set up a ZEO (Zope Enterprise Object) server.

Step 6: Start Plone

Now, let's initiate the Plone instance we just installed by running the following command:

/opt/plone/zeocluster/bin/plonectl start

Plone should now be running and can be accessed browsing the website on the IP address or domain name with port 8080. You can check the status of Plone by running the following command:

/opt/plone/zeocluster/bin/plonectl status
