2. Change your working directory to the Lufi folder:

cd lufi

3. Install Lufi using the cpanminus tool:

Step 3: Configure Lufi

After successfully installing Lufi, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file. Follow these steps to create a configuration file:

Step 5: Configure Apache

Finally, we need to configure the Apache web server to serve Lufi using FastCGI. Create a new virtual host configuration file lufi.conf in the Apache conf.d directory:

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

Add the following configuration to the file:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
  AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi

    Options +ExecCGI
    FCGIWrapper /var/www/lufi/lufi.fcgi

</IfModule>

Save and close the file. Restart the Apache webserver to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2
