How to Install Antville on Manjaro

Antville is a free, open-source content management system that allows you to create, manage, and publish web content or blogs. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Antville on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Java

Antville is a Java-based application; therefore, you need to make sure that Java is installed on your system. Run the following command in your terminal to install Java:

sudo pacman -S jre-openjdk

Step 2: Install Antville

To install Antville, you need to use the “Yaourt” package manager. If you don't have Yaourt installed on your system, use the following command to install it:

sudo pacman -S yaourt

After installing Yaourt, run the following command to install Antville:

yaourt -S antville

During the installation process, you will be prompted to confirm the installation of Antville and its dependencies. Review the list, press Y, and then press Enter to confirm the installation.

Step 3: Create a User Account

Once the installation is completed, Antville creates a default user account. Run the following command to create a new user account:

cd /usr/share/antville/bin/
./antville.sh -configure

Follow the prompts to create a new user account. Once the new user account is created, restart the Antville service using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart antville.service

Step 4: Access Antville

Now that Antville is installed and a user account is created, you can access it through your web browser. Visit the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/

You will now be prompted to log in using the account you created in Step 3.
