EGroupware is an open-source groupware application suite that provides email, address book, calendar, and other collaborative tools. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing EGroupware on Void Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to update your system's packages to the latest version. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Syu
Next, we need to install some of the packages that are required to install EGroupware. Run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y apache php php-curl php-iconv php-mbstring php-pgsql php-ldap php-xmlrpc php-xmlwriter php-intl php-zip postgresql
Now, we will download the EGroupware file. You can go to the EGroupware official website, click on the Download button, and then download the latest version.
Alternatively, you can use wget to download the file using the following command:
wget https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware/releases/download/v21.1.20210518/egroupware-docker-21.1.20210518.tar.bz2
Note that the version and filename may change over time.
After downloading the EGroupware archive, extract it using the following command:
tar -xvjf egroupware-docker-21.1.20210518.tar.bz2
Replace the filename and version number with the one you downloaded.
Before installing EGroupware, we need to make sure that the correct permissions are set. Change the directory to the extracted folder, and run the following command:
sudo chown -R root:root egroupware-docker-21.1.20210518
To install EGroupware on Void Linux, we need to run the installation script. Change to the extracted directory and run the following command:
sudo ./install.sh
The installation script will perform some checks and prompt you for some configuration options. During the installation process, you need to enter the following:
After the installation completes, you need to restart the Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/egroupware/setup. This will launch the EGroupware web-based setup wizard, where you can complete the setup process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed EGroupware on Void Linux. You can now use EGroupware to collaborate with your colleagues and manage your daily tasks. Enjoy!
