RosarioSIS is a free and open source Student Information System that allows you to manage students, teachers, and classes. It is easy to use and provides a range of features to help schools and educators manage their day-to-day activities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing RosarioSIS on the latest version of Linux Mint.
Before we start, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to install Apache. To do this, open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
After the installation process is complete, start the Apache service by typing:
sudo systemctl start apache2
If you have a firewall running on your system, you may also need to allow HTTP traffic. To do this, run the following command:
sudo ufw allow 'Apache'
Next, you need to install MySQL. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL.
After the installation is complete, start the MySQL service by typing:
sudo systemctl start mysql
Now it's time to install PHP. You will need to install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install php php-common php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-zip php-mbstring php-xml php-intl
After the installation is complete, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
You can download the latest version of RosarioSIS from the official website: https://www.rosariosis.org/
Once the download is complete, extract the files to the document root directory of your web server. On Linux Mint, this directory is located at /var/www/html/.
To extract the files, right-click on the downloaded file and select "Extract Here" or use the following command:
tar -xf rosariosis-XXX.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Replace "XXX" with the version number you downloaded.
Next, set the proper permissions for the RosarioSIS directory by running the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/rosariosis/
Note that www-data is the user under which Apache runs.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/rosariosis/. You should see the RosarioSIS installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter the following details:
