ProjeQtOr is an open-source project management software that allows planning, tracking, and controlling projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ProjeQtOr on the latest version of POP! OS, step by step.
To install ProjeQtOr on your POP! OS Latest operating system, you need to meet the following prerequisites:
Let's get started.
Before we begin with the installation of ProjeQtOr, we need to ensure that our system is up to date. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This command will update the repositories and upgrade any packages that need upgrading. This may take some time, depending on your internet connection speed and your computer's processing power.
For ProjeQtOr to work, we need to install a web server, a database server, and PHP. We will use Apache as our web server, MariaDB as our database server, and PHP as our scripting language. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php php-curl php-gd php-ldap php-mysql php-xml php-mbstring php-zip unzip -y
This command will install the web server, database server, and PHP on your computer.
Now that we have installed the web server, database server, and PHP, we need to create a database for ProjeQtOr to use. Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This command will start the MySQL shell. Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE projeqtor_db;
CREATE USER 'projeqtor_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON projeqtor_db.* TO 'projeqtor_user'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
These commands will create a database, a database user, and grant them permissions to the ProjeQtOr database.
Download the latest version of ProjeQtOr from their official website. You can either download the ZIP or the TAR.GZ. Once the download is complete, extract the contents to the /var/www/html directory:
sudo unzip projeqtor-10.2.zip -d /var/www/html/
Replace projeqtor-10.2.zip with the name of the file you downloaded.
Now that we have downloaded and extracted the ProjeQtOr files, we need to configure it. Rename the configuration file:
sudo mv /var/www/html/projeqtor/config/projeqtor_conf.sample.php /var/www/html/projeqtor/config/projeqtor_conf.php
Then, open the configuration file in your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/projeqtor/config/projeqtor_conf.php
Update the following settings in the configuration file:
define('__MYSQL_HOST__', 'localhost');
define('__MYSQL_LOGIN__', 'projeqtor_user');
define('__MYSQL_PASSWORD__', 'password');
define('__MYSQL_BASE__', 'projeqtor_db');
Update the values according to the database you created earlier.
To ensure that ProjeQtOr works correctly, we need to set the correct permissions. Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/
Open your preferred web browser and go to http://localhost/projeqtor/install. This will start the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Once the installation is complete, go to http://localhost/projeqtor to access ProjeQtOr.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install ProjeQtOr on the latest version of POP! OS. With ProjeQtOr, managing your projects will be much more comfortable, and you will be able to track and monitor the progress of your projects efficiently.
