Before installing DocPHT, you need to install Apache and PHP on your system. To install both of these packages, run the following command in your terminal:

Once installation is complete, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Download DocPHT

The next step is to download DocPHT from the official website. Go to the DocPHT download page, and click on the "Download Now" button to download the latest version.

Step 3: Extract the DocPHT Archive

Once the DocPHT archive is downloaded, extract it to the /var/www/html directory using the following command:

sudo tar -xzf docpht-VERSION.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/

Replace "VERSION" with the version number of the archive you downloaded.

Step 4: Set Permissions

Next, you need to set the appropriate permissions for the DocPHT directory. Run the following command to set the permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/docpht/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/docpht/

Step 5: Configure Apache for DocPHT

Now you need to configure Apache to serve the DocPHT directory. Run the following command to create a new Apache configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/docpht.conf

In the editor, paste the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/docpht/
    ServerName yourdomain.com

    <Directory /var/www/html/docpht/>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/docpht_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/docpht_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name or IP address.

Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter.

Now enable the configuration by running this command:
