This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Tine - Community Edition on your Windows 10 operating system.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your machine:
Firstly, go to the Tine - Community Edition GitHub page and click on the green "Code" button. From the dropdown, select "Download ZIP" to download the latest version of the software.
Next, extract the downloaded ZIP file to the following directory: C:\xampp\htdocs
Open a command prompt window and change the directory to the Tine folder using the command:
cd C:\xampp\htdocs\tine20-master
Next, you will need to install the dependencies for Tine using Composer. Enter the following command to do so:
composer install
This process may take some time depending on your internet speed.
Next, you will need to configure the database for Tine. Start XAMPP and start both Apache and MySQL. Then, open a web browser and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/. Click on the "New" button to create a new database.
Enter a name for the database and click on the "Create" button.
Next, go back to the command prompt window and enter the following command to install the tine database schema:
php bin/console.php tine:update:database
When prompted, enter the name of the database that you created in PHPMyAdmin.
To configure Tine, you will need to create a copy of the configuration file provided. From the tine20-master folder, navigate to the config folder and make a copy of the config.inc.php.dist file, renaming it to config.inc.php.
Next, open the config.inc.php file in a text editor and change the following lines to match your database configuration:
$GLOBALS['APP_CONFIG']['db']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';
$GLOBALS['APP_CONFIG']['db']['username'] = 'root';
$GLOBALS['APP_CONFIG']['db']['password'] = '';
$GLOBALS['APP_CONFIG']['db']['database'] = 'tinedb';
Change localhost to the hostname of your MySQL server if it is different from localhost. Change root to your MySQL username and include your MySQL password. Change tinedb to the name of the MySQL database you created in step 4.
Save and close the config.inc.php file.
Finally, you can start Tine by opening a command prompt window and entering the following command:
php bin/tine20.php start
This will start Tine and it will be accessible via a web browser at http://localhost/tine20.
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!
