In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Atheos on POP! OS Latest. Atheos is an open-source web-based IDE that lets you edit and manage your code files in a browser. It's lightweight, easy to use, and supports multiple programming languages.
Before we proceed with the installation, you need to make sure that:
To open the terminal in POP! OS, press Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard. This will launch the terminal application.
Before we can install Atheos, we need to install some dependencies that it requires. Copy and paste the following command in your terminal and hit enter:
sudo apt-get install -y apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring php-zip unzip git
This command will install Apache2, PHP, and some PHP extensions that Atheos needs to run.
Next, we need to download and install Atheos. Copy and paste the following commands in your terminal one by one and hit enter:
cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/Atheos/Atheos.git
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data Atheos
sudo chmod -R 777 Atheos
The first command will change your directory to /var/www/html where we will be installing Atheos. The second command will download the Atheos repository from GitHub. The third command will change the ownership of the Atheos directory to Apache user and group. The fourth command will give full permissions to the Atheos directory.
Atheos requires the Apache2 Rewrite module to be enabled. To enable it, copy and paste the following command in your terminal and hit enter:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
This command will enable the Apache2 Rewrite module.
To apply the changes we made, we need to restart the Apache2 service. Copy and paste the following command in your terminal and hit enter:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
This command will restart the Apache2 service.
Now that we have installed and configured Atheos, it's time to access it in a browser. Open your favorite browser and type http://localhost/Atheos in the address bar.
This will launch the Atheos dashboard where you can create new projects or open existing ones.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Atheos on POP! OS Latest. Now you can use Atheos to edit and manage your code files in a browser.
