Mango is a manga server and reader application that allows you to organize and read your favorite manga series in one place. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Mango on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before you start, you need to have the following:
Mango requires certain dependencies that need to be installed before you can proceed with the installation. Open the terminal on your machine and run the following command:
sudo zypper install gcc-c++ git make cmake openssl-devel mariadb mariadb-devel mariadb-tools mariadb-connector-c-devel libcurl-devel libopenssl-devel
Next, you need to clone the Mango repository to your machine. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/hkalexling/Mango.git
This will create a new directory called Mango in your current directory.
Now that you have the Mango repository on your machine, you can build and install the application. Change your directory to the Mango directory using the following command:
cd Mango
Next, create a build directory inside the Mango directory:
mkdir build
cd build
Run the following command to configure the build:
cmake ..
Once the configuration is complete, run the following command to build Mango:
make
Finally, install Mango using the following command:
sudo make install
Mango needs a configuration file before you can start using it. Use the following commands to create a new configuration file and open it with a text editor:
cd /usr/local/etc/Mango
sudo cp mango.example.ini mango.ini
sudo nano mango.ini
Inside the configuration file, you need to modify the database settings. Look for the following section in the file:
[Database]
Enable = false
Host = localhost
Port = 3306
User = mango
Pass = mangopass
Name = mangoserver
Change the values of Host, User, Pass, and Name to match your MariaDB settings.
Now that you have configured Mango, you can start the application. Use the following command to start the Mango server:
sudo systemctl start mango
To make sure that the server starts automatically on boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mango
Mango should now be running and accessible over the internet. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8077. If everything is working correctly, you should see the Mango landing page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mango on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start organizing and reading your favorite manga series using Mango.
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!
