Moonmoon is a web-based RSS aggregator that lets you aggregate your favorite blogs, websites, and news feeds. It's open-source software that can be installed on Linux Mint in a few easy steps. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Moonmoon on Linux Mint Latest.
Before proceeding, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Moonmoon requires an Apache web server to run. To install Apache, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Moonmoon also requires PHP to run. To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php
Moonmoon requires a MySQL database to store its data. To install MySQL, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be asked to create a root password for the MySQL server. Make sure to choose a strong password and remember it.
Next, we need to download and install Moonmoon. To download Moonmoon, run the following command:
sudo wget https://moonmoon.org/releases/moonmoon-0.8.2.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:
sudo tar -xvf moonmoon-0.8.2.tar.gz
Now, move the extracted files to your web server's root directory:
sudo mv moonmoon/* /var/www/html/
To configure Moonmoon, we need to create a new MySQL database and user for Moonmoon.
First, log in to the MySQL shell as the root user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password you created in Step 3 when prompted.
Next, create a new database for Moonmoon:
CREATE DATABASE moonmoon;
Create a new user and grant it privileges to the new database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON moonmoon.* TO 'moon_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'moon_password';
Replace moon_user and moon_password with your preferred username and password.
Exit the MySQL shell:
quit
To configure Moonmoon, open the config.php file in a text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/config.php
In this file, set the database name, username, and password you just created:
$db['name'] = 'moonmoon';
$db['user'] = 'moon_user';
$db['password'] = 'moon_password';
To test Moonmoon, open a web browser and navigate to:
http://localhost/
You should see the Moonmoon interface.
