Before we proceed with the installation of XBackBone on Linux Mint Latest, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
XBackBone requires Apache web server to run. We can install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
XBackBone is written in PHP, so we need to install PHP and its required extensions. We can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-xml php-mbstring
Once the installation is complete, we need to restart Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
To install XBackBone, we need to download its latest release from its official website. We can download it using the following command:
wget https://github.com/fisharebest/webtrees/releases/download/2.0.15/webtrees-2.0.15.zip
Once the download is complete, we need to extract the downloaded zip file to the Apache web server root directory using the following command:
sudo unzip xbackbone.zip -d /var/www/html/
Now, we need to configure XBackBone to make it work with our system. First, we need to rename the config-sample.php file to config.php using the following command:
sudo mv /var/www/html/config-sample.php /var/www/html/config.php
Next, we need to edit the config.php file using the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/config.php
Here, we need to change the following settings as per our system configuration:
$cfg['base_url']: Set the base URL of your web server.$cfg['xampp_root']: Set the path of your web server root directory.$cfg['secret_key']: Set a secure secret key for XBackBone.Once the changes are made, save the file and exit the editor.
Now, we can access XBackBone using our web browser by navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost/xbackbone/
Here, replace localhost with the IP address or domain name of your web server if you are accessing XBackBone remotely.
