Installation

Follow the steps below to install DirectoryLister on your Manjaro machine.

  1. Open Terminal and clone the DirectoryLister repository from GitHub by running the command:

    git clone https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister.git
    
  2. After cloning the repository, move the DirectoryLister folder to the Apache web server's root directory using the command:

    sudo mv DirectoryLister /srv/http/
    
  3. Copy the DirectoryLister.default.config.php file to DirectoryLister.config.php:

    cd /srv/http/DirectoryLister/
    sudo cp DirectoryLister.default.config.php DirectoryLister.config.php
    
  4. Edit the DirectoryLister.config.php file and modify the following parameters:

    $cfg['base_url'] = 'http://yourdomain.com/DirectoryLister';
    $cfg['hidden_files'] = array('.*', 'private.txt');
    

    You will need to replace yourdomain.com with your website's domain name or IP address. The hidden_files parameter is optional, and it allows you to specify files or directories that you wish to exclude from the list.

  5. Save and exit the DirectoryLister.config.php file.

  6. Restart the Apache web server using the command:

    sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
    
  7. Finally, open your web browser, type in the URL http://localhost/DirectoryLister, and you should see the DirectoryLister interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed DirectoryLister on Manjaro. You can now use this simple PHP application to list files and directories on your web server.

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
