In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install tasks.php on Linux Mint, which is a PHP-based task management application available on Github. Tasks.php is a simple and efficient tool that lets you manage your tasks in a structured and organized manner.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Java 8 or above
• PHP 7.0 or above
• Composer

Step 1: Install Java

Java is required to run the web server, so we need to install it first. To install Java, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install default-jre

To verify the installation, run the following command:

java -version 

It should display the version of Java installed.

Step 2: Install PHP

Install PHP 7.0 or higher version. To install PHP, open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php

To verify the installation, run the following command:

php -v 

It should show the version of installed PHP.

Step 3: Install Composer

To install Composer, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install composer 

After the installation, run the following command to verify Composer installed:

composer -v 

It should display the version of Composer installed.

Step 4: Download tasks.php

Download the tasks.php from Github by opening the terminal and running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git

Move the downloaded files into /var/www/html/tasks, which is your webserver root directory by running the following command:

sudo mv tasks.php /var/www/html/tasks

Next, navigate to the /var/www/html/tasks directory by running the command:

cd /var/www/html/tasks

Step 5: Install the required Dependencies

Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

composer install 

Step 6: Start the Webserver

To start the webserver, run the following command:

php -S localhost:8080

The server started at http://localhost:8080/.

Step 7: Launch the tasks.php

Open the web browser and enter the following URL: http://localhost:8080/tasks.php

You will now be redirected to the tasks.php home page.

That's it! You can now use tasks.php to manage your tasks efficiently.
