Neos is an open-source content management system written in PHP and based on the Flow framework. It provides a modern, flexible, and scalable platform for creating and managing web applications. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Neos on Linux Mint Latest.
Before starting with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing any new software, it is always recommended to update and upgrade the system packages to their latest versions. Open the terminal and run the following command to update your system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
To install Neos, you need to install some dependencies like PHP, MySQL, and Apache. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-mbstring php-zip unzip
Download the latest stable version of Neos from their official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/neos/neos-development-distribution/archive/master.zip
After downloading, extract the downloaded file using the following command:
unzip master.zip
Rename the extracted folder to "neos" and move it to the Apache document root directory using the following command:
sudo mv neos-development-distribution-master /var/www/html/neos
To configure Apache for Neos, create a new configuration file under the "/etc/apache2/sites-available/" directory using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/neos.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/neos/Web/
ServerName neos.local
<Directory "/var/www/html/neos/Web/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter.
Next, enable the newly created virtual host using the following command:
sudo a2ensite neos.conf
Finally, restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
