How to Install PhpSysInfo on POP! OS Latest

PhpSysInfo is a powerful tool that allows you to monitor your server's system information via a web interface. It is easy to install on a variety of operating systems, including POP! OS. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install PhpSysInfo on POP! OS Latest.

Step 1: Update your system

Before you do anything else, it is essential to ensure that your system is up-to-date. You can achieve this by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

This command will update your system's package lists, ensuring that you have access to the latest versions of software packages.

Step 2: Install Apache

PhpSysInfo runs on a web server, and Apache is one of the most popular web servers available. To install Apache, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2

This command will download and install Apache on your system. You can verify that Apache is running by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost. If Apache is installed correctly, you should see the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page.

Step 3: Install PHP

PhpSysInfo is built using PHP, so you will need to install PHP on your system. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

This command will install PHP and the necessary modules to run it with Apache.

Step 4: Install PhpSysInfo

Now it is time to install PhpSysInfo. You can download the latest version of PhpSysInfo from the official website. To download the latest version of PhpSysInfo, run the following command:

wget https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/releases/latest/download/phpsysinfo-3.3.5.tar.gz

This command will download the latest version of PhpSysInfo to your system.

Next, you need to extract the downloaded file. You can do this by running the following command:

tar -zxvf phpsysinfo-3.3.5.tar.gz

This command will extract the downloaded file to a directory named phpsysinfo-3.3.5. Now you need to move this directory to the Apache document root directory. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo mv phpsysinfo-3.3.5 /var/www/html/phpsysinfo

This command will move the phpsysinfo-3.3.5 directory to the Apache document root directory.

Step 5: Configure Apache

Now that you have installed PhpSysInfo and moved it to the Apache document root directory, you need to configure Apache to serve PhpSysInfo. You can do this by creating a new virtual host configuration file. Run the following command to create a new virtual host file:

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

This command will open a new file in the Nano text editor. Paste the following configuration into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phpsysinfo
    <Directory /var/www/html/phpsysinfo>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpsysinfo.error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpsysinfo.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Next, you need to enable the new virtual host configuration by running the following command:

sudo a2ensite phpsysinfo.conf

This command will enable the phpsysinfo.conf configuration file.

Finally, you need to restart the Apache web server to apply the changes. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6: Access PhpSysInfo

Now that you have installed and configured PhpSysInfo, you can access it by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost/phpsysinfo. If everything is working correctly, you will see the PhpSysInfo dashboard, which displays various system information, including memory usage, CPU usage, and network information.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PhpSysInfo on POP! OS Latest.
