How to install Tine - Community Edition on MXLinux Latest

Introduction

Tine - Community Edition, or simply Tine, is an open-source web-based Groupware and CRM platform that enables users to manage their contacts, calendars, tasks, and email from a single application. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps of installing Tine on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL

To run Tine, you need to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL. You can install these packages by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apache2 php mysql-server php-mysql libapache2-mod-php -y

Once the installation is complete, start Apache and MySQL services:

sudo systemctl enable apache2 && sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable mysql && sudo systemctl start mysql

Step 2: Download and extract Tine

To download the latest version of Tine, visit the following URL:

https://github.com/tine20/tine20/releases

Download the latest version, and extract it to the webserver document root directory:

cd /var/www/html
sudo wget <tine_download_link>
sudo tar -xvzf tine20-<version>.tar.gz

You can rename the extracted directory to 'tine' by running the following command:

sudo mv tine20-<version> tine

Step 3: Create a MySQL database for Tine

Create a new MySQL database and user for Tine:

sudo mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE tine;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tine.* TO 'tineuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'tine_password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;

Note: Replace 'tine_password' with a secure password for Tine.

Step 4: Configure Apache for Tine

Create a new virtual host for Tine by creating a new configuration file:

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

Add the following content to the configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName <tine_domain_name>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tine
    
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tine_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tine_access.log combined
    
    <Directory /var/www/html/tine>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note: Replace the '' with your domain name, or IP address.

Enable the new virtual host and Apache rewrite module:

sudo a2ensite tine.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite

Restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Install and configure Tine

Open your web browser and navigate to the Tine installation wizard:

http://<tine_domain_name>

Follow the installation wizard steps to complete the installation.

Configure the 'Settings' section based on your preferences.

Click 'Install' to complete the installation.
