SPIP is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) designed to help you publish and manage websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of SPIP on Manjaro.
Before you proceed, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
You can download the latest version of SPIP from the official website at https://www.spip.net/fr.
You can download the zip file using the wget command in the terminal.
$ wget https://www.spip.net/spip-zone/archives/spip/spip-3.3.3.zip
Once downloaded, extract the zip file to a directory of your choice.
$ unzip spip-3.3.3.zip
Move the extracted SPIP directory to the root directory of your web server. For example, if you are using Apache as your web server, move the extracted SPIP folder to the var/www/html directory.
$ mv spip-3.3.3 /var/www/html/
Set the correct permissions for the SPIP directory to ensure that your web server can access it.
$ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/spip-3.3.3/
$ chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/spip-3.3.3/
Create a new database with a user and password for SPIP to use.
$ mysql -u root -p
# Enter password:
> CREATE DATABASE spipdb;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON spipdb.* TO 'spipuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT
Replace spipdb, spipuser, and password with your desired values.
Navigate to http://localhost/spip-3.3.3 in your web browser. You will be redirected to the SPIP installation page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation, providing the database details you created in Step 4.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SPIP on your Manjaro Linux system. You can now use SPIP to publish and manage your website.
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!
