Before you can install Mautic, you need to create a MySQL database for it. Enter the following command to create a new MySQL database:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Once you are prompted for a password, enter your MySQL root password, and then create the database:
CREATE DATABASE mautic_database;
After creating the database, create a new MySQL user:
CREATE USER 'mauticuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mauticpassword';
Finally, grant the user full access to the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mautic_database.* TO 'mauticuser'@'localhost';
Create a new configuration file for Mautic:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mautic.conf
Add the following code to the file, replacing [Your IP Address] with your server's IP address:
<VirtualHost *:80>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file.
Enable the configuration file by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite mautic.conf
Finally, restart the Apache server for the changes to take effect:
sudo service apache2 restart
To install Mautic, navigate to http://[Your IP Address]/mautic/ in your web browser. You will see the Mautic installation page.
