In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Pydio on macOS. Pydio is an open source file-sharing platform that allows you to access your files from anywhere with an internet connection. It provides a web interface to manage files, folders, users, and permissions.
Before installing Pydio, please make sure that your macOS system meets the following requirements:
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS. You can use it to install various software packages, including Pydio. Follow the below command to install Homebrew in your macOS.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
You need to install PHP on your macOS. Homebrew eases the installation of PHP by just running a single command in the Terminal. Follow the command given below to install PHP.
brew install php@7.4
You can install MySQL by using Homebrew. Follow the command given below:
brew install mysql
Once the installation is completed, start MySQL service using the given command:
brew services start mysql
You can download Pydio from the official website https://pydio.com/. Once the download is complete, extract the file to a directory of your choice.
Navigate to the extracted directory using the Terminal.
Run the following command to install the dependencies of Pydio:
php composer.phar install
Run the following command to set up the Pydio database:
php bin/console.php database:install
You will prompt to enter the database credentials during the installation.
Run the following command to start the Pydio server:
php bin/console.php server:start
Access the Pydio server on your browser by typing the localhost:8080 in the URL bar.
That's it! You have successfully installed Pydio on your macOS. Now you can use it as a file-sharing platform to manage and access your files from anywhere.
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!
