Before installing any software on your system, it's recommended to update the system packages to the latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:

OrangeHRM requires a web server to function correctly. In this step, we will install the Apache web server. Execute the following command to install Apache:

MariaDB is a fork of MySQL database, and it's used by OrangeHRM to store data. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server -y
After the MariaDB installation is done, you need to create a database for OrangeHRM. Execute the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
Next, create a new database for OrangeHRM:
CREATE DATABASE oranghrm;
Create a new user and grant all necessary privileges:
CREATE USER 'oranghrmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON oranghrm.* TO 'oranghrmuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Note: Replace 'password' with your preferred password.
