Introduction

Juntagrico is an open-source software designed for managing food cooperatives that work with farmers. It simplifies the management process while giving the users a clear idea of all the aspects of the cooperative. This tutorial is going to explain how to install Juntagrico on your MXLinux latest.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, ensure you have the following:

• A running instance of MXLinux latest
• Root access
• A stable internet connection

Step 1: Update the System

Before you install Juntagrico, it is essential to update the system. Run the below command in the terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

This will update and upgrade the system packages to their latest versions.

Step 2: Install Apache and MariaDB

Juntagrico requires a webserver and a database server to function correctly. You can install the Apache webserver and MariaDB using the below command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server

Press "y" when prompted to install the required packages.

Step 3: Configure MariaDB

Once you install MariaDB, it is crucial to configure the root password. You can do this by running the command below:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompt and set the root password for MariaDB.

Step 4: Install PHP and Required Extensions

Juntagrico is written in PHP and requires some extensions to function correctly. Install the latest version of PHP and required extensions via the command below:

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

Restart Apache for the installation to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Download and Install Juntagrico

Create a new directory to install Juntagrico:

sudo mkdir /var/www/juntagrico

Download the latest version of Juntagrico with the following command:

cd /var/www/juntagrico
sudo wget https://github.com/juntagrico/juntagrico/releases/latest/download/juntagrico.zip

Unzip the downloaded file:

sudo apt-get install unzip
sudo unzip juntagrico.zip

Assign the right folder permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/juntagrico
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/juntagrico

Step 6: Create a Virtual Host

Create a new virtual host configuration file juntagrico.conf in the directory /etc/apache2/sites-available/:

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

Insert the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName juntagrico.local
    DocumentRoot /var/www/juntagrico/public
    <Directory /var/www/juntagrico>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/juntagrico_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/juntagrico_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit the file.

Enable the new virtual host:

sudo a2ensite juntagrico

Restart Apache:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7: Configure Juntagrico

Access Juntagrico by navigating to http://juntagrico.local/install.

Follow the installation wizard prompts and connect to the MariaDB database using the root password you set during MariaDB configuration. Set the cooperative details and create a user account.

Once done, remove the install folder to prevent unauthorized access:

sudo rm -rf /var/www/juntagrico/install
