In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Tiki on OpenSUSE latest version.
Before proceeding with the Tiki installation process, you will need the following:
Before starting the Tiki installation, it is recommended to update your system packages to the latest version. Run the following command in the terminal to update:
sudo zypper update
Tiki requires some additional packages to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install Apache, PHP, and MariaDB packages:
sudo zypper install apache2 apache2-mod_php7 php7 php7-mysql mariadb mariadb-client
Visit the Tiki website (https://tiki.org/HomePage) and download the latest stable release package. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the package:
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/tikiwiki/files/latest/download -O tiki.zip
Extract the downloaded Tiki package using the following command:
sudo unzip tiki.zip -d /srv/www/htdocs/
Set the ownership and permissions of the Tiki files using the following commands:
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/tiki/
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/www/htdocs/tiki/
Create a new MariaDB database for Tiki using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Once you have entered the MySQL shell, create a new database and user for Tiki using the following command:
CREATE DATABASE tiki_db;
CREATE USER 'tikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tiki_db.* TO 'tikiuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a secure password of your choice.
Finally, navigate to the Tiki URL (http://localhost/tiki) in your web browser and follow the on-screen installation instructions to complete the Tiki installation process.
After the installation is complete, make sure to remove the installation directory for security reasons using the following command:
sudo rm -rf /srv/www/htdocs/tiki/install/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tiki on OpenSUSE latest version. You can now start building your Tiki site and enjoy its features.
