After the installation, restart the Apache service by running the following command:

Next, download the latest version of IconCaptcha from the website: https://www.fabianwennink.nl/projects/IconCaptcha/

You can extract the contents in the terminal using the following command:
sudo unzip IconCaptcha_v1.5.zip -d /var/www/html/
To configure IconCaptcha, you need to edit the config.php file located in the inc/ directory. Open the file in your preferred text editor using the following command:
