How to Install OpenOlitor on Manjaro

OpenOlitor is an open-source platform for managing small-scale food processing and marketing businesses. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenOlitor on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start installing OpenOlitor, make sure that your system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Steps

1. First, install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S git mariadb nginx php php-fpm php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-pdo php-mysql

2. After installing the dependencies, clone the OpenOlitor repository using git:

git clone https://github.com/OpenOlitor/OpenOlitor.git

3. Create a new database in MariaDB for OpenOlitor:

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE openolitor;

4. Grant permission to a new user to access the database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON openolitor.* TO 'openolitor_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Replace 'password' with a strong password.

5. Import the database schema using the following command:

mysql -u openolitor_user -p openolitor < OpenOlitor/db/openolitor.sql

6. Open the OpenOlitor directory in your terminal and copy the file config/config.php.dist to config/config.php. Then, open config.php using a text editor and fill out the database details (database name, database user, and password).

cd OpenOlitor
cp config/config.php.dist config/config.php
nano config/config.php

7. Copy the entire OpenOlitor directory to /var/www/:

sudo cp -r OpenOlitor /var/www/

8. Set ownership and permissions for the OpenOlitor directory:

sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/OpenOlitor
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/OpenOlitor

9. Configure Nginx to serve OpenOlitor. Open the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf using a text editor and add the following lines to the http block:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain_name.com;
    root /var/www/OpenOlitor/public;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Replace your_domain_name.com with your own domain name. Save and close the file.

10. Restart both PHP-FPM and Nginx using the following commands:

sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
sudo systemctl restart nginx

11. Finally, open a web browser and navigate to http://your_domain_name.com. You should see the OpenOlitor login screen.

Congratulations, you have now installed OpenOlitor on Manjaro Linux!
