How to Install Galette on Manjaro

Galette is a free open-source membership management software. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Galette on your Manjaro system.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Before installing Galette, you need to make sure that your system has installed some necessary packages. Open your terminal and enter the following commands:

sudo pacman -Sy apache mariadb mariadb-clients php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-mysqli

Step 2: Create a Database for Galette

Now it's time to create a database for Galette. Enter the following commands in the terminal:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password when prompted.

CREATE DATABASE galette;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON galette.* TO 'galetteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strongpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace 'strongpassword' with a strong password you choose.

Step 3: Download and Extract Galette

Download the latest version of Galette from the official website: https://galette.eu/dc/.

Open your terminal and enter the following command to navigate to your downloads folder:

cd Downloads/

Extract the downloaded Galette package using the following command:

tar -xzf galette-<version>.tar.gz

Replace <version> with the version of Galette you downloaded.

Step 4: Move Galette to the Web Server Directory

Now you need to move the extracted Galette folder into the web server directory at /srv/http/. Use the following command in your terminal:

sudo mv galette /srv/http/
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/galette

Step 5: Configure Galette

After moving the Galette directory, you need to configure it. Create a virtual host for Galette by creating the file /etc/httpd/conf/extra/galette.conf and add the following code to it:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-server-name
    DocumentRoot "/srv/http/galette"
    <Directory "/srv/http/galette">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note: Replace your-server-name with your server name or domain name.

Save the file and restart Apache HTTP server:

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Now open your browser and navigate to http://your-server-name/galette to continue with the Galette web-based installer.
