This tutorial will guide you through the installation of TYPO3 on Manjaro. TYPO3 is an open-source content management system (CMS) that enables you to create and manage websites easily. The following steps assume you have administrative privileges on your system.
TYPO3 is a web-based system that runs on a web server. Thus, we first need to install a web server for TYPO3. Apache2 is the most common web server, and it is recommended to use it.
To install Apache2, open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu apache
This will download and install Apache2 on your system.
The next step is to install PHP. TYPO3 requires PHP to run server-side scripts. To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu php
This will install PHP on your system.
TYPO3 uses MariaDB, a fork of MySQL, as a database server. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu mariadb
This will download and install MariaDB on your system.
After installing MariaDB, we need to configure it by executing the following command:
sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Then, log in to MariaDB by running the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
This command will prompt you to set a password for the root user, remove anonymous users, and remove test databases. Follow the prompt to complete the installation.
Now that all necessary components are installed, it is time to install TYPO3. The best way to install TYPO3 is by downloading the latest version from the TYPO3 website.
Download the latest ZIP file from the TYPO3 download page.
Once downloaded, extract the ZIP file to the /var/www/html directory.
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/typo3
sudo unzip typo3_src-10.4.19.zip -d /var/www/html/typo3/
Next, create a database for TYPO3. Open the MariaDB prompt using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your password, and then run the following commands to create a database and a user:
create database TYPO3DB;
create user TYPO3USER@localhost identified by 'TYPO3PWD';
grant all privileges on TYPO3DB.* to TYPO3USER@localhost identified by 'TYPO3PWD';
flush privileges;
exit;
Replace TYPO3DB, TYPO3USER, and TYPO3PWD with your preferred values.
To configure TYPO3, navigate to /var/www/html/typo3/ on your web browser. Follow the installation wizard to complete the installation. During the installation process, you will be asked to configure the database connection using the credentials you set up in the previous step.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TYPO3 on Manjaro. You can now begin using TYPO3 to create 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!
