Markdown has grown in popularity over the years due to its simplicity in creating formatted text that easily converts to HTML. Minimalist Online Markdown Editor is an open-source tool that makes it easy and straightforward to write Markdown articles. In this guide, we will walk through the steps needed to install this tool on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we proceed, ensure that you have the following:
Let's get started.
We'll begin by updating our repositories:
sudo zypper refresh
Next, upgrade any outdated packages:
sudo zypper update
Use the following command to install Apache web server:
sudo zypper install apache2
After that, use the following command to install PHP:
sudo zypper install php7
Use the following command to install Git:
sudo zypper install git
Now clone the Minimalist Online Markdown Editor repository:
git clone https://github.com/pioul/Minimalist-Online-Markdown-Editor.git /var/www/htdocs/
Once the clone is complete, we'll need to give the webserver ownership of the project files. To do this, run the following command:
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /var/www/htdocs/Minimalist-Online-Markdown-Editor
To confirm that the files have been copied and permissions set correctly, we can run:
ls -al /var/www/htdocs/Minimalist-Online-Markdown-Editor
Now that the project files have been cloned and permissions set correctly, they can be accessed by users through a web server. Open the Apache configuration file and add the following lines:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs/Minimalist-Online-Markdown-Editor"
<Directory "/var/www/htdocs/Minimalist-Online-Markdown-Editor">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Once you've added those lines, save and exit the file. Restart your web server:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
