How to Install ICEcoder on MXLinux Latest

ICEcoder is a browser-based code editor that runs on your webserver, allowing you to edit your website files from anywhere. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install ICEcoder on MXLinux Latest.

Step 1: Update your system

Before installing ICEcoder, it is recommended to update your system package lists first. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This will update the package lists on your system.

Step 2: Install Apache webserver

ICEcoder requires a webserver to function. Apache2 is a popular and widely used webserver. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 -y

Step 3: Install PHP and other dependencies

ICEcoder is written in PHP and requires some dependencies to be installed. Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-json php-gd php-mbstring php-zip php-xml -y

Step 4: Download and extract ICEcoder

Now it’s time to download and extract the ICEcoder archive. You can get the latest version from their website, or you can use the following command to download it directly to your system:

wget https://github.com/icecoder/ICEcoder/releases/download/v7.1.0/ICEcoder-v7.1.0.zip

Once the download is complete, extract the archive to the web document root directory (/var/www/html) using the following command:

sudo unzip ICEcoder-v7.1.0.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 5: Set permissions

ICEcoder needs write permissions to create and edit files. You can grant the necessary permissions with the following commands:

sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ICEcoder
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/ICEcoder

Step 6: Create a Virtual Host

You need to create a virtual host for ICEcoder. You can do this by creating a new file in the Apache sites-available directory using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/icecoder.conf

Then, paste the following configuration in the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ICEcoder
     <Directory /var/www/html/ICEcoder>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
     </Directory>
     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, followed by Y and then Enter.

Step 7: Enable the Virtual Host

After creating the virtual host, enable it by running the following command:

sudo a2ensite icecoder.conf

Then, restart the Apache service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 8: Access ICEcoder

You can now access ICEcoder by visiting your server’s IP address in your web browser. For example, if your server’s IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access it by visiting http://192.168.0.100/ICEcoder.

Enter the username and password provided by ICEcoder and you can start editing your website files.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed ICEcoder on MXLinux Latest. You can now use it to edit your website files from anywhere, as long as you have access to a web browser.
