Gancio is a free and open-source web-based calendar application that offers a simple and easy-to-use interface to manage events and appointments. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step through the process of installing Gancio on MXLinux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you need to ensure that:
The first step is to update the package repository to ensure that you install the latest version of the software. You can do this by opening the terminal and running the following command:
sudo apt update
Next, you need to install the required dependencies for Gancio to run correctly. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install git composer curl php php-cli php-sqlite3 php-json php-mbstring php-curl php-gd sqlite3
This command installs Git, which is used to clone the Gancio repository, and Composer, a PHP dependency manager.
Now, use the Git command to clone the Gancio repository:
git clone https://github.com/nodiscc/gancio.git
This command clones the repository to a directory named "gancio" in your current working directory.
After cloning the repository, change to the newly created directory and run the following command to install Gancio and its dependencies:
cd gancio/
sudo composer install
After the installation process completes, you need to configure Gancio to work with your web server. Run the following command to copy the example configuration file:
cp config/config.example.toml config/config.toml
Then, open the configuration file using your favorite text editor and make the following changes:
port parameter to the port you want Gancio to listen on. By default, Gancio listens on port 8080.data_dir parameter to a directory where Gancio can store data. For example, /var/lib/gancio/.Finally, start the Gancio server by running the following command:
php -S localhost:<your_port>
Replace <your_port> with the port you set in the configuration file in step 5. For example, if you set port = "8080", run the following command:
php -S localhost:8080
Now, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:<your_port>. You should see the Gancio login page. Log in using the default credentials (admin as the username and password as the password) and start using Gancio!
