FlatPress is a lightweight and user-friendly blogging platform that doesn't require a database to run. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install FlatPress on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before starting the installation process, it is important to make sure that our system is updated. To update Ubuntu server, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
FlatPress requires a web server to serve its content to the users. We will use Apache web server in this tutorial. To install Apache, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2
After installing Apache, you can access its default web page by typing your server's IP address in your web browser.
FlatPress is written in PHP, so we need to install PHP on our Ubuntu Server. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
Next, we need to download the latest version of FlatPress from their official website. You can do this by using the following command:
wget https://github.com/flatpress/flatpress/archive/master.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the zip file to the Apache web server's document root directory:
unzip master.zip -d /var/www/html/
Now that FlatPress is installed, it's time to configure it. Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address. You should see a welcome message from FlatPress.
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure FlatPress. When prompted, enter your website's name, description, and other settings. You will also need to create a username and password for the administrator account.
After configuring FlatPress, make sure to delete the "install.php" file from the root directory for security purposes.
sudo rm /var/www/html/flatpress-master/install.php
