ZenTao is an open-source project management software that offers comprehensive solutions to efficiently manage software development projects. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ZenTao on POP! OS Latest using Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Apache is a popular web server used to serve web content across the internet. To install Apache on your POP! OS Latest, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
Once the installation is complete, verify that the Apache service is running by typing the following command:

If the Apache service is running, the output should indicate that it is active and running.
PHP is a server-side scripting language used to generate dynamic web pages. To install PHP on your POP! OS Latest server, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt install php
You can verify that PHP has been installed by creating a PHP info file. To do this, create a new file named info.php in your Apache document root.
sudo nano /var/www/html/info.php
Add the following code to the file:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Save and close the file. Then, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost/info.php
If PHP has been installed correctly, you should see a page containing information about your PHP installation.
MySQL is a popular open-source relational database system used to store data for web applications. To install MySQL on your POP! OS Latest server, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a password for the root MySQL user. Make sure to remember this password as you will need it later.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that MySQL is running by typing the following command:
sudo systemctl status mysql
If MySQL is running, the output should indicate that it is active and running.
