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.
Before we begin with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
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.
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.
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.
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
Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
composer install
To start the webserver, run the following command:
php -S localhost:8080
The server started at http://localhost:8080/.
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.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
