Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation of Roadiz, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A system running POP! OS

This will install Apache2, PHP, and other necessary packages.

Install Composer

Composer is a package manager for PHP. In order to install Roadiz, we need to install Composer on our system. To install Composer, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install composer

Download and Install Roadiz

Once you have installed Apache, PHP, and Composer; you can download and install Roadiz.

1. First, create a new directory in your document root directory using the following command:

   sudo mkdir /var/www/html/roadiz
   

2. Change the owner of the /var/www/html/roadiz directory to your username by running the following command:

   sudo chown -R your-username /var/www/html/roadiz
   

3. Download the latest Roadiz version from the official website using the following command:

   cd /var/www/html/roadiz

4. Once the installation process is complete, change the permissions of the /var/www/html/roadiz directory by executing the following command:

   sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/roadiz
   

Configure Apache for Roadiz

The final step is to set up Apache for Roadiz.

1. Create a new Apache configuration file using the following command:

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

2. Add the following lines to the file:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
           ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
           DocumentRoot /var/www/html/roadiz/web
           <Directory /var/www/html/roadiz/web>
                   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                   AllowOverride All
                   Order allow,deny
                   allow from all
           </Directory>
           ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
           CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
   </VirtualHost>
   

3. Save the file and exit the editor.

4. Disable the default Apache site configuration and enable the configuration file for Roadiz using the following commands:

   sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
   sudo a2ensite roadiz.conf
   

5. Restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
