Mautic is a powerful open-source marketing automation platform used to manage leads, create emails, manage campaigns, and track analytics. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Mautic on Ubuntu Server latest.
Before we begin, there are a few prerequisites that we need to discuss:
Before you start the installation process, update all the installed packages to the latest version. This can be done using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
The next step is to install PHP and some required extensions for Mautic. Use the following command to install PHP and extensions:
sudo apt-get install php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-xml php-zip -y
Mautic needs a database to store data. MySQL is an excellent choice as it’s reliable and has excellent performance. Use the following command to install MySQL:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server -y
After installing MySQL, we need to create a new database and a new user for Mautic. To do this, use the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
You will be prompted for a password. Type in your password, and the MySQL prompt should appear.
CREATE DATABASE mautic;
CREATE USER 'mauticuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mautic.* TO 'mauticuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Use the wget command to download the latest stable version of Mautic:
sudo wget https://github.com/mautic/mautic/releases/download/3.4.2/3.4.2.zip
When the download is complete, extract the downloaded files to your web server document root directory:
sudo unzip 3.4.2.zip -d /var/www/html/
Mautic requires the webserver to be the owner of the Mautic files. To set the correct ownership of the files, use the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mautic
Now that Mautic is installed, the next step is to configure it. Open the web browser and enter the IP address or domain name of your server followed by /mautic. The installation wizard should appear.
Select your language, and click on the “Start your first Campaign” button to start the installation. The wizard will ask you some questions, such as the database details you created earlier. Fill in the fields, and click on the “Save & Continue” button.
Next, you will need to create an administrator account for Mautic. Fill in the required fields, and click on the “Save & Continue” button. Finally, review the details you have filled in, and click on the “Finish Install” button.
The installation process may take some time, depending on your server’s speed. Once the installation completes, you should see a Login page. Enter your email and password, and click on the “Login” button.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Mautic on Ubuntu Server Latest. With Mautic installed, you can automate your marketing campaigns and lead management to boost your business. With the right configuration and use case, it can make a big difference in optimizing marketing campaigns.
