SheetAble is a web-based spreadsheet application that allows you to create, edit and share your spreadsheets online. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install SheetAble on NetBSD.
The first step is to install the required dependencies for SheetAble. Run the following command to install the required PHP extensions:
pkgin install php73-gd php73-pdo_mysql php73-mysqli php73-json php73-curl php73-dom php73-zip php73-session php73-exif php73-iconv php73-xml
Next, we need to download the SheetAble installation files. Run the following command on your NetBSD server to download the latest version of SheetAble:
cd /var/www/html/
wget https://sheetable.net/download/sheetable-latest.zip
After downloading the SheetAble installation package, we need to extract it into the Apache web root directory. Run the following command to extract the files:
unzip sheetable-latest.zip
The next step is to configure SheetAble for your NetBSD web server. First, rename the configuration file:
cd sheetable
cp config/config.default.php config/config.php
Next, edit the SheetAble configuration file using your preferred text editor:
vi config/config.php
Modify the following settings:
define('BASEPATH', '/sheetable/');
define('SITE_URL', 'http://localhost/sheetable');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_PORT', '3306');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_mysql_root_password');
define('DB_NAME', 'sheetable');
define('SESSION_NAME', 'sheetable');
define('ENABLE_REGISTRATION', true);
To store SheetAble data, we need to create a new MySQL database. Run the following command to create a new database:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE sheetable;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sheetable.* TO 'sheetable_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;
The final step is to run the SheetAble installation wizard. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/sheetable/install. Follow the installation wizard instructions to complete the installation.
Congratulations! SheetAble is now installed on your NetBSD server. You can access SheetAble by visiting http://localhost/sheetable in your web browser.
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!
