AgenDAV is a free multi-user calendar and address book manager. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing AgenDAV on Manjaro.
Before starting with the installation, you need to make sure that your Manjaro system is up-to-date by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -Syu
You also need to have a web server and a database server installed on your system. For this tutorial, we will use Apache and MariaDB.
To install Apache web server, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S apache
To start the Apache service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start httpd
You can verify that Apache is running by navigating to http://localhost in your web browser.
To install MariaDB database server, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
To start the MariaDB service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
You can verify that MariaDB is running by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status mariadb
To create the AgenDAV database, run the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This will open the MariaDB prompt. Enter the root password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE agendav;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON agendav.* TO 'agendav'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
To install the required PHP packages, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache php-gd php-mcrypt php-pdo_mysql php-mbstring
Download the latest version of AgenDAV from the official website using the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/agendav/agendav/releases/download/2.4.0/agendav-2.4.0.zip
Extract the downloaded zip file to the Apache web server root directory using the following command:
sudo unzip agendav-2.4.0.zip -d /srv/http/
Change the ownership of the agendav directory to http using the following command:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/agendav/
Copy the sample configuration file and rename it to config.php:
sudo cp /srv/http/agendav/config-sample.php /srv/http/agendav/config.php
Edit the config.php file and configure the database connection settings:
define('AGENDAV_TIMEZONE', '');
define('AGENDAV_DEFAULT_LOCALE', 'en_US');
define('AGENDAV_DB_TYPE', 'pdo_mysql');
define('AGENDAV_DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('AGENDAV_DB_NAME', 'agendav');
define('AGENDAV_DB_USER', 'agendav');
define('AGENDAV_DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
Save and exit the file.
You can now access AgenDAV by navigating to http://localhost/agendav in your web browser.
AgenDAV should be up and running now.
This tutorial has guided you through the process of installing AgenDAV on Manjaro. You can now use AgenDAV to manage your calendar and address book.
