In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install farmOS on your Windows 10 computer. farmOS is an open-source web-based farm management software that enables farmers to keep track of their farm's resources such as plants, animals, equipment, and other related activities.
Before we begin, you need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Navigate to the farmOS website and click on the "Download" button. Select the latest version of farmOS for Windows.
Once the download is complete, extract the files to a folder on your computer.
Before we begin configuring the webserver, ensure that it is running on your computer. In this tutorial, we will use Apache as the web server.
Navigate to the Apache web server installation directory and locate the httpd.conf file. This file is usually located in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf.
Open the httpd.conf file in a text editor and add the following lines at the end of the file:
# farmOS configuration
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName farmos.local
DocumentRoot "C:\path\to\farmOS"
<Directory "C:\path\to\farmOS">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace C:\path\to\farmOS with the actual path where you extracted the farmOS files.
Open phpMyAdmin or any other database management tool and create a new database named farmOS.
Create a new user and grant it all privileges on the farmOS database.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://farmos.local/install.php.
Follow the installation wizard and enter the required information such as the database name, username, and password.
Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to create a new user account. Enter the required information and click on "Create User".
That's it! You have successfully installed farmOS on your Windows 10 computer.
In this tutorial, we have guided you on how to install farmOS on your Windows 10 computer. With farmOS, farmers can easily manage their farms and resources through a user-friendly interface.
