Atheos is a lightweight, web-based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which provides developers with a powerful and intuitive toolset. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Atheos on OpenSUSE latest.
Atheos requires a web server and PHP to run. Therefore, we will begin by installing Apache and PHP packages:
sudo zypper install apache2 php apache2-mod_php7
Once the process completes, we will enable start and enable the Apache service:
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start apache2
Atheos needs a database to store its data. SQLite is a lightweight database system that can be used for this purpose. We will install it and configure it as follows:
sudo zypper install sqlite3
Next, we will create a directory to store the database file:
sudo mkdir -p /var/db/atheos/
And assign read and write permissions to the Apache's user and group:
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /var/db/atheos/
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/db/atheos/
Now, we will create the SQLite database file:
sudo sqlite3 /var/db/atheos/atheos.db
And create a table to store the data:
CREATE TABLE user (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
user TEXT,
pass TEXT
);
First, we will download the Atheos package from https://www.atheos.io/download. We will use wget command to do this:
wget -P /tmp https://github.com/Atheos/Atheos/archive/master.zip
Once the download is complete, we will move the zip file to the Apache's root directory:
sudo mv /tmp/master.zip /srv/www/htdocs
cd /srv/www/htdocs
Now, we will unzip the Atheos package:
sudo unzip master.zip
We will rename the extracted folder to atheos for easy reference:
sudo mv Atheos-master/ atheos/
Next, we will set appropriate ownership and permissions on the atheos directory:
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/atheos
sudo chmod -R 777 /srv/www/htdocs/atheos
To configure Atheos to use SQLite, we will modify the configuration file config.php. We will use the nano editor:
sudo nano /srv/www/htdocs/atheos/config.php
We will replace the following lines:
$config["db"]["host"] = "localhost";
$config["db"]["username"] = "root";
$config["db"]["password"] = "";
$config["db"]["database"] = "atheos";
With:
$config["db"]["pdo"]["dsn"] = "sqlite:/var/db/atheos/atheos.db";
Finally, we will save the file and exit the editor.
At this point, Atheos is installed and configured. Open your web browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:
http://your-server-ip/atheos
Atheos will load in your browser, and you can start using it.
In this tutorial, we have shown how to install and configure Atheos on OpenSUSE. You can now use Atheos to develop web applications or websites.
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!
