Kleeja is a free and open-source file hosting and sharing script that allows you to easily manage and share files on your website. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kleeja on Linux Mint.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
If you don't have these, you can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php mysql-server php-mysql
First, you need to download the latest version of Kleeja from the official website. You can use the following command to download it:
wget https://github.com/kleeja-official/kleeja/releases/download/2.3/kleeja-2.3.zip
After the download is complete, extract the zip file:
unzip kleeja-2.3.zip
Once you have downloaded Kleeja, you need to move it to the appropriate directory. In this case, we will be moving it to the /var/www/html/ directory:
sudo mv kleeja-2.3 /var/www/html/
Then, give the www-data user ownership of the Kleeja directory:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3
Now, change to the Kleeja directory by running the following command:
cd /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3/
Next, run the installation script using the following command:
sudo php install.php
The installation script will guide you through the process of setting up your Kleeja site.
You will need to provide the following information:
To configure Apache to work with Kleeja, create a virtual host file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/kleeja.conf
Then, add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3/
<Directory /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
Enable the virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite kleeja.conf
Then, reload Apache:
sudo systemctl reload apache2
To confirm that Kleeja is working, open your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the Kleeja homepage.

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
