Omeka S is a web-based platform for creating and managing digital exhibits. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Omeka S on your Manjaro Linux system.
Before you can install Omeka S, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
You can install these prerequisites using the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache php mariadb php-apache
Download the latest version of Omeka S from the official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/omeka/omeka-s/releases/download/v3.1.2/omeka-s-3.1.2.zip
Unzip the downloaded file into the /srv/http/ directory using the following command:
unzip omeka-s-3.1.2.zip -d /srv/http/omeka-s
Edit the Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the following lines at the end of the file:
Alias /omeka-s "/srv/http/omeka-s"
<Directory "/srv/http/omeka-s">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Create a new database for Omeka S by running the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE omeka_s;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON omeka_s.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace 'username' and 'password' with your desired database username and password.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/omeka-s
Follow the installation wizard, providing the database credentials you just created in step 3.
Once the installation is complete, you can log in to the Omeka S admin dashboard using the login page: http://localhost/omeka-s/admin
That's it! You have successfully installed Omeka S on Manjaro.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
