How to install ICEcoder on Ubuntu Server Latest

ICEcoder is a free, open-source code editor designed to be flexible, intuitive and easy to use. It can be installed on Ubuntu Server and used to create, edit, and debug code across multiple programming languages. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ICEcoder on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing ICEcoder, you need to have the following:

• A running Ubuntu Server Latest environment
• A sudo user account
• Access to the internet

Step 1: Update the package list

To ensure that we get the latest version of ICEcoder, we need to update the package list first. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt update

Step 2: Install Apache2

ICEcoder requires Apache2 installed. Install it by running the following command:

sudo apt install apache2

Once installed, start the Apache2 service:

sudo systemctl start apache2

Step 3: Install PHP and required extensions

ICEcoder is built with PHP, so we need to install PHP and its required extensions. Run the following command:

sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-zip

Step 4: Download and extract ICEcoder

Download the latest version of ICEcoder from the official website:

wget https://github.com/icecoder/ICEcoder/releases/latest/download/ICEcoder-v6.0.zip

Extract the downloaded file to the Apache2 root directory:

sudo unzip ICEcoder-v6.0.zip -d /var/www/html

Step 5: Configure ICEcoder

Create a new file and name it "config.php" inside the "data" directory:

sudo touch /var/www/html/ICEcoder/data/config.php
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/ICEcoder/data/config.php

Open the file in your preferred editor and paste the following content:

<?php
$config=array(
"version"=>"6.0",
"allowedIPs"=>"*",
"password"=>"password",
"php"=>"php",
"projectsEnable"=>"true",
"projectsBaseDir"=>"/var/www/html/ICEcoder-projects/",
"githubAuthToken"=>"",
"githubUserName"=>"",
"plugins"=>array("gitDiff","terminal","embeddedContent"),
"theme"=>"default",
"fontSize"=>"medium",
"lineWrapping"=>"true"
);
?>

Set the "password" value to your desired password.

Step 6: Set file permissions

Change the owner and group of the ICEcoder root directory to the Apache2 user and group:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ICEcoder

Set the directory and file permissions:

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/ICEcoder
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/ICEcoder/data

Step 7: Access ICEcoder

Start or restart Apache2 service:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Open a web browser and navigate to your Ubuntu Server IP address or hostname followed by "/ICEcoder". For example, if your server IP address is 192.168.0.100, navigate to:

http://192.168.0.100/ICEcoder

If everything is configured correctly, you should see the ICEcoder login screen. Enter the password you set in Step 5 to login.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed ICEcoder on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now create, edit and test your code with ICEcoder.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
