In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Chamilo LMS on MXLinux latest version.
Before we start, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
To begin, update your system by running the following command:

Install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php mysql-server
Next, install the necessary PHP modules:

Restart Apache web server:

Download the latest version of Chamilo LMS from the official website https://chamilo.org/download/ and extract it:
cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/archive/v1.11.10.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf v1.11.10.tar.gz
Change the ownership of the Chamilo LMS files to the web server user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/*
Create a database for Chamilo LMS:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE chamilo_lms;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chamilo_lms.* TO 'chamilo_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace the database name, username and password in the "app/config/database.php" configuration file with the database name, username and password you just created:
sudo nano /var/www/html/chamilo-lms-1.11.10/app/config/database.php
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'chamilo_lms',
'username' => 'chamilo_user',

Save and close the file.
