Krayin is a customer relationship management (CRM) software that helps businesses manage customer interactions and streamline sales processes. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Krayin on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you fulfill the following requirements:
First, you need to download the latest version of Krayin from their official website. You can do this easily by executing the following command in your terminal:
$ wget https://krayincrm.com/kfile/download
Next, we need to install the required dependencies for Krayin to function properly. Assuming you are using an Apache web server, you can install the necessary PHP modules with the following command:
$ sudo pkg install php72 php72-extensions php72-mysqli php72-json php72-curl php72-zlib php72-mbstring php72-gd php72-filter
After installing the required dependencies, you need to configure MySQL database for Krayin. If you have not already installed MySQL, you can do so with the following command:
$ sudo pkg install mysql57-server
Once installed, start the MySQL service and secure it by executing the commands below:
$ sudo service mysql-server start
$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts to set a root password, remove anonymous users, and disable root logins.
After securing MySQL, create a new database and user account for Krayin by executing the following commands:
$ mysql -u root -p
Then, within the MySQL prompt, create a new database and user account for Krayin:
> CREATE DATABASE krayin;
> CREATE USER 'krayin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON krayin.* TO 'krayin'@'localhost';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> exit;
Replace 'password' with a secure password for the Krayin user.
Next, extract the downloaded Krayin file to your web server's document root directory. Assuming you are using Apache web server, this directory is typically located at /usr/local/www/apache24/data/.
You can extract the file using the following command:
$ sudo tar -xzvf krayin.tar.gz -C /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
After extracting the file, grant the web server user (usually www) read and write permissions to the storage folder:
$ sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/krayin/storage
Now, we need to configure Krayin. Navigate to the config folder within the Krayin directory and copy the database.php.example file to database.php:
$ cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data/krayin/config
$ sudo cp database.php.example database.php
Next, open the database.php file with a text editor and replace the following lines:
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'database' => 'krayin',
with:
'username' => 'krayin',
'password' => 'password',
'database' => 'krayin',
Replace 'password' with the secure password you set for the Krayin user in Step 3.
At this point, everything should be set up and ready to go. Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name followed by /krayin. You should see the Krayin setup page.
Follow the prompts to complete the setup process. Once done, you can log in to your Krayin dashboard and start managing your customer relationships!
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Krayin on FreeBSD Latest. By following these steps, you should now have a working Krayin installation ready for customer relationship management.
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!
