FlatPress is a popular lightweight content management system (CMS) that allows users to create and manage their own blogs. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install FlatPress on the latest version of POP! OS, which is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
The first thing you need to do is download the latest version of FlatPress from the official website. You can use the following command to download FlatPress directly from the terminal:
wget https://github.com/flatpress/flatpress/releases/download/v1.1/flatpress-1.1.1.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, you will need to unpack the FlatPress files. You can use the following command to do this:
tar -xzvf flatpress-1.1.1.tar.gz
This will create a new directory named flatpress-1.1.1 in the current directory.
The next step is to move the FlatPress files to the web server directory. In POP! OS, the web server directory is located at /var/www/html/. You can use the following command to move the files to this directory:
sudo mv flatpress-1.1.1 /var/www/html/flatpress
This command will move the entire flatpress-1.1.1 directory to /var/www/html/flatpress.
Now that the FlatPress files are in place, you need to configure the CMS by setting up the database and configuring the site settings. You can access the FlatPress installer by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/flatpress/admin.php.
Follow the instructions provided by the installer to configure FlatPress.
Once you have completed the configuration, you can access FlatPress by typing http://localhost/flatpress/ in your web browser. This will take you to the homepage of your new blog.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed FlatPress on the latest version of POP! OS.
