Neos is a powerful and flexible content management system built on top of the PHP programming language. In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to install Neos on MXLinux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Neos, we will need to install some required packages. Open a terminal and run the following command to update the package lists:
sudo apt-get update
Next, install the required packages using the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php-cli php-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.2 php-mbstring php-xml
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. Neos and some of its components require it. To install Composer, run the following command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Once Composer is installed, move it to the system-wide executable path:
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now that we have installed all the prerequisite packages, we can proceed to install Neos. First, create a directory for Neos in the document root of your web server:
sudo mkdir /var/www/neos
Clone the Neos code from the Git repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/neos/neos-development-distribution.git /var/www/neos
Once the code is cloned, navigate to the newly created directory:
cd /var/www/neos/
Run the following command to install all the required dependencies:
sudo composer install
Next, create a new MySQL or PostgreSQL database and user for Neos.
Now, copy the configuration files from the sample files:
sudo cp Configuration/Settings.yaml.dist Configuration/Settings.yaml
sudo cp Configuration/Routes.yaml.dist Configuration/Routes.yaml
Edit the Configuration/Settings.yaml as per your requirements.
Next, we need to configure Apache to serve Neos. Open the default virtual host configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following configuration snippet to the file, just before the closing </VirtualHost> tag:
DocumentRoot /var/www/neos/Web/
<Directory /var/www/neos/Web/>
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Enable the rewrite module:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Finally, restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://your_server_ip
You should see the Neos installation wizard. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
In this article, we have learned how to install Neos on MXLinux Latest. You can now use Neos to create and manage your websites.
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!
