GeneWeb is a free genealogy software that allows you to create a family tree and manage it on your computer. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install GeneWeb on MXLinux using the website https://geneweb.tuxfamily.org/wiki/GeneWeb.
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install some dependencies required to run GeneWeb. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential perl libcgi-pm-perl libapache2-mod-perl2 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbd-pg-perl libdbd-sqlite3
Next, we need to download the GeneWeb package from the official website at https://geneweb.tuxfamily.org/wiki/GeneWeb. Once downloaded, extract the package into a folder named 'geneweb' in your home directory.
Now that we have GeneWeb installed, we need to configure it by running the following commands:
cd ~/geneweb/bin
sudo ./gwsetup.sh
Follow the instructions on the screen to configure your GeneWeb installation.
Finally, we can start GeneWeb by running the following command:
cd ../gw
sudo ./gwsetup.sh
This will start GeneWeb on your computer.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GeneWeb on MXLinux. Now, you can create and maintain your family tree with ease.
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!
