This command will install all the required packages.

Step 3: Create a virtual environment

Now, we will create a virtual environment for Indico. This will ensure that the installation does not interfere with other packages installed on the system. Type the following command:

sudo virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 /opt/indico

Step 4: Activate the virtual environment

To activate the virtual environment, type the following command:

To configure Indico, type the following commands:

sudo mkdir /var/log/indico
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/log/indico

This will create a directory for Indico logs and set the appropriate permissions.

Step 7: Configure Apache

Now, we need to configure Apache to work with Indico. Type the following command to create a new Apache configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/indico.conf

In the file, paste the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/indico/error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/indico/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace 'yourservername.com' with your server's domain name.

Step 8: Enable the Apache configuration

To enable the Apache configuration, type the following command:

sudo a2ensite indico.conf
