Galette is a popular open-source membership management software that helps you manage and organize your club or association. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Galette on POP! OS Latest.
Before getting started, you will need the following:
First, you need to download Galette from the official website using the following wget command:
$ wget https://download.galette.eu/galette-latest.tar.gz
Once downloaded, extract the archive using the following command:
$ tar xzf galette-latest.tar.gz
This will create a new directory called galette in your current directory.
Before you can install Galette, you need to create a new MySQL database and a user with full permissions on that database. You can create both using the following commands:
$ mysql -u root -p
This will open the MySQL shell, where you can create the database and user:
> CREATE DATABASE galette_db;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON galette_db.* TO 'galette_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT;
Be sure to replace galette_db, galette_user, and password with your desired values.
Before you can install Galette, you need to configure it with your database settings. Open the galette/config/config.inc.php file in your favorite text editor and set the following variables:
<?php
$conf['dsn'] = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=galette_db';
$conf['user'] = 'galette_user';
$conf['pass'] = 'password';
Again, be sure to replace galette_db, galette_user, and password with your values.
Now that you have downloaded and configured Galette, you can upload it to your web server's root directory. If you are using Apache, you can copy the galette directory to /var/www/html/ using the following command:
$ sudo cp -r galette /var/www/html/
Make sure that your web server has read and write permissions on the galette directory:
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/galette
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/galette
Once you have uploaded the files to your web server, you can access Galette by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_domain.com/galette/
You should see the Galette installation page where you can follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation, you will need to enter your database details, so be sure to use the same values you used earlier.
Once you have completed the installation, you can log in to Galette using the default credentials:
Make sure to change the default password after logging in for the first time.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Galette on POP! OS Latest! You can now use it to manage your club or association.
