How to install Phproject on MXLinux Latest

Phproject is a project management web application that helps you keep track of your tasks, projects, and deadlines. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Phproject on MXLinux Latest.

Step 1: Update the system

Before beginning the installation process, let's update the operating system. Open the terminal, and enter the command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install LAMP stack

Phproject is a PHP-based web application, so you'll need a web server with PHP installed. You can install the LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) stack by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php7.3

During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a password for the MySQL root user. Make sure to remember this password as we will need it in the next step.

Step 3: Download and extract Phproject

Next, let's download and extract Phproject on our system. We'll create a directory called /var/www/html/phproject and use it to store the application files. Open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/phproject

Now, navigate to the directory using:

cd /var/www/html/phproject

Download the latest version of Phproject using the following command:

sudo wget https://github.com/philippe44/phprojekt/releases/download/v6.2.2-4/phprojekt-6.2.2-4.zip

Once the download is complete, extract the zip file using the following command:

sudo unzip phprojekt-6.2.2-4.zip

Step 4: Set permissions

To make sure the web server can access the Phproject files, we need to assign ownership of the phproject directory to the www-data user and group. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/phproject/

Step 5: Create a MySQL database

We'll create a MySQL database to store the data that Phproject will use. Open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter the password you set during the LAMP stack installation.

Now, let's create a new database using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE phproject;

Next, create a new user account and assign privileges to it using the following commands:

CREATE USER 'phprojectuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phproject.* TO 'phprojectuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace password with your own password of choice.

Step 6: Install Phproject

Before setting up Phproject, we need to install a few PHP extensions. Open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo apt install php7.3-mysql php7.3-gd php7.3-mbstring php7.3-xml

Next, navigate to the phproject directory using the following command:

cd /var/www/html/phproject/

Now, let's run the installation script using the following command:

sudo php phprojekt_installation.php

Follow the prompts to complete the installation process. You will need to enter the MySQL username, password, and database name that we created in Step 5.

Step 6: Access Phproject

Once the installation is complete, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phproject/ to access Phproject. You can log in using the default username and password admin/admin.

And that's it! You have successfully installed Phproject on MXLinux Latest. You can now start using it to manage your projects and tasks.
