Installing Fusio on MXLinux Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Fusio, a modern PHP API backend, on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Fusio, make sure you have the following requirements:

Step 1: Update System

It is always recommended to update your system before installing any new packages. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This command will update your system's package list and upgrade all the packages to their latest version.

Step 2: Install Apache and PHP

Fusio requires a web server with PHP support, so you need to install Apache and PHP on your system.

To install Apache, run the following command:

sudo apt install apache2 -y

To install PHP, run the following command:

sudo apt install php php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-intl php-mbstring -y

This command will install the required PHP extensions for Fusio to work correctly.

Step 3: Install MariaDB

Fusio requires a database system to store its data. You can use either MariaDB or MySQL as your database management system.

To install MariaDB on your system, run the following command:

sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y

Once the installation is complete, run the following command to secure your database system:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the on-screen prompts to set the root password, remove anonymous users, disallow root login remotely, and remove test database.

Step 4: Download and Install Fusio

To download Fusio, visit their official website at https://www.fusio-project.org/ and download the latest stable release.

Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where the file was downloaded and extract it using the following command:

tar -xvf fusio-x.x.x.tar.gz

Replace x.x.x with the version number of Fusio you downloaded.

Move the extracted fusio directory to the Apache document root directory with the following command:

sudo mv fusio /var/www/html/

Change the ownership of the fusio directory to the Apache user with the following command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/fusio/

Step 5: Configure Fusio

Before you can use Fusio, you need to configure it by creating the necessary database structure and setting up your database credentials.

Create a new database for Fusio with the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MariaDB root password and run the following SQL query to create a new database for Fusio:

CREATE DATABASE fusio CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Create a new database user and grant it permission to access the new database with the following SQL query:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fusio.* TO 'fusio'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';

Replace yourpassword with a secure password of your choice.

Import the Fusio database schema and data with the following command:

sudo mysql -u fusio -p fusio < /var/www/html/fusio/data/schema.sql

Edit the Fusio configuration file with the following command:

sudo nano /var/www/html/fusio/config.php

Update the database configuration section with the following details:

'database' => [
    'default' => [
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'port' => 3306,
        'user' => 'fusio',
        'password' => 'yourpassword',
        'dbname' => 'fusio',
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'
    ]
]

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Test Fusio

Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes with the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Open your favorite web browser and visit http://localhost/fusio/. You should see the Fusio welcome screen.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Fusio on MXLinux Latest. You can now start building your API backend applications.

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!
