WonderCMS is a free and open-source content management system that allows you to create and manage websites easily. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WonderCMS on POP! OS Latest.
Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download the latest version of WonderCMS from the official website. You can download the file either from the website or by using wget command:
wget https://www.wondercms.com/download
The downloaded package will be in the zip format. You need to extract it to a directory where you want to install WonderCMS.
unzip wondercms-3.1.7.zip
You need to copy the extracted files to your web server directory. The default web server directory in POP! OS Latest is /var/www/html/.
sudo cp -r wondercms/* /var/www/html/
You need to set the correct ownership and permissions for the copied files.
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/
You need to create a MySQL or MariaDB database for WonderCMS to function.
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password.
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE wondercms;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wondercms.* TO 'wondercms_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;
You can now visit your website by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WonderCMS on POP! OS Latest.
