Step 1: Update your system

Before you start the installation process, it is recommended to update your system to the latest version. Open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo zypper install apache2 php7 php7-mysqlnd php7-gd php7-zip php7-fileinfo php7-dom php7-xmlreader php7-json php7-intl mysql-community-server

Step 3: Configure the MySQL database

Pydio requires a MySQL database to store its data. Run the following command to start the MySQL server:

Create a new database and user for Pydio:

sudo tar -xvf pydio-core-8.2.5.tar.gz -C /var/www/

Step 5: Set permissions

Set the correct permissions for the Pydio directory:

sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /var/www/pydio

Step 6: Configure Apache

Create a new configuration file for Apache:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/pydio.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

Alias /pydio /var/www/pydio/
<Directory /var/www/pydio>
    Options FollowSymLinks
