Mautic is an open-source marketing automation software that allows you to manage your digital marketing campaigns and leads. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Mautic on Linux Mint Latest.
Before you proceed with the installation, make sure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
First, we need to download the latest version of the Mautic software from the official website. Run the following command to download the Mautic package:
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/mautic/releases/2.16.2.zip
The downloaded file is in zip format. To extract the file, you need to install the unzip package. Run the following command to install:
sudo apt-get install unzip
After installing unzip, navigate to the download directory and extract the Mautic package:
sudo unzip 2.16.2.zip -d /var/www/html/
Change the directory to /var/www/html and rename the extracted Mautic directory to your preferred directory name:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo mv mautic-2.16.2 mautic
Set the correct file permissions and ownership to the Mautic directory:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mautic
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/mautic
Log in to the MySQL or MariaDB server as root or any user with sudo privilege:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database and user for Mautic:
CREATE DATABASE mautic;
CREATE USER 'mauticuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mautic.* TO 'mauticuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure to replace “password” with your desired password.
Create a new virtual host file for Mautic under the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mautic.conf
Add the following configuration to the mautic.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mautic
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/mautic>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mautic-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mautic-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace example.com with your own domain or IP address. Save and exit the file.
Enable the virtual host file:
sudo a2ensite mautic.conf
Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Finally, access Mautic by typing your domain name or IP address in your web browser’s address bar. You will be redirected to the Mautic setup wizard, where you can configure your Mautic installation.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Mautic on Linux Mint Latest. Now, you can start managing your marketing campaigns and leads.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
