How to Install Umami on Fedora Server Latest

Umami is an open-source analytics platform that helps website owners to understand their web traffic. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Umami on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following:

• Fedora Server Latest installed
• Root privileges or sudo access
• A domain name pointing to your server IP address
• Apache and PHP installed and configured on your server

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies for Umami by running the following command:

sudo dnf install git unzip curl php-cli php-pdo php-mbstring php-xml php-gd -y

Step 2: Download and Extract Umami

Once you have installed the dependencies, clone the Umami repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/mikecao/umami.git

After the repository has been cloned, extract the Umami files to your web directory by running the following command:

sudo mv umami/* /var/www/html/

Step 3: Configure Apache

Next, you need to configure Apache to serve Umami.

Create a new configuration file for Umami under /etc/httpd/conf.d/:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/umami.conf

Copy and paste the following content in the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html
   ServerName yourdomain.com
   ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/umami_error.log
   CustomLog /var/log/httpd/umami_access.log combined
   <Directory /var/www/html>
      DirectoryIndex index.php
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      allow from all
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.

Save and close the file.

Then, restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 4: Create a MySQL Database and User

Umami requires a MySQL database to store analytics data. Create a new MySQL database and user:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password and run the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE umami;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON umami.* TO 'umamiuser' IDENTIFIED BY 'umamipassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
QUIT;

Make sure to replace umamiuser and umamipassword with your preferred username and password.

Step 5: Configure Umami

To configure Umami, copy the .env.example file to .env:

cd /var/www/html
cp .env.example .env

Open the .env file and modify the following lines:

APP_NAME=Umami
APP_URL=http://yourdomain.com
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=umami
DB_USERNAME=umamiuser
DB_PASSWORD=umamipassword

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Install Umami

Finally, run the following command to install Umami:

php artisan umami:install

Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Once the installation is complete, you can access Umami by visiting your domain name in a web browser.
