IFM is a web-based file manager, which means it requires a web server to run. In this tutorial, we will be using Apache as our web server. Before we can install IFM, we need to install Apache and PHP on our system. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

Now that we have Apache and PHP installed, we can proceed with the installation of IFM.
/var/www/html/ directory.cd /var/www/html/
sudo git clone https://github.com/misterunknown/ifm.git
ifm directory, so that Apache can access and serve the files:sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ifm/
sudo service apache2 restart
