Step 1: Download UVDesk

To download the latest version, we will use wget command.

wget https://cdn.uvdesk.com/uvdesk/downloads/opensource/latest.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command.

tar -zxvf latest.tar.gz

This will create a new directory named uvdesk-community in your current folder.

Step 2: Create a Virtual Host

Now, we will create a virtual host for UVDesk.

Create a new configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/uvdesk.conf and add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/uvdesk-community/public

    <Directory /var/www/html/uvdesk-community/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/uvdesk_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/uvdesk_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Note: Replace example.com with your own domain name.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the uvdesk-community directory and install the dependencies using the following command:

cd uvdesk-community
composer install

This will install all the required dependencies for UVDesk.

Step 4: Configure Database

Configure the database details in app/config/uvdesk.yaml file.

...
database:
    driver: 'pdo_mysql'
    server_version: '5.7'
    host: 'localhost'
    port: 3306
    db_name: 'uvdesk'
    charset: utf8mb4
    username: 'root' # replace with your database username
    password: 'password' # replace with your database password

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Complete Installation

Follow the installation wizard to complete the installation process.

Once the installation is complete, you can access UVDesk by navigating to http://example.com or http://your-ip-address on your browser.
