How to Install Tuleap on macOS

Tuleap is a web application that is used for project management and collaboration. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing Tuleap on macOS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following installed on your macOS system:

• Homebrew
• MySQL

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Open Terminal and enter the following command to install the required packages:

brew update
brew install httpd php mysql php-mysql

Step 2: Download and Extract Tuleap

Visit the Tuleap website and download the latest stable release of Tuleap. Extract the downloaded file to the Applications directory.

Step 3: Configure Apache

We need to configure httpd.conf file for Apache. To do that, run the following command:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the configuration file:

# Tuleap Configuration
DocumentRoot "/Applications/tuleap"

  Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Configure PHP

Run the following command to edit the PHP configuration file:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php.ini

Set the following values:

memory_limit = 256M
date.timezone = "Europe/London"

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Restart Apache

To apply the changes made to the httpd.conf and php.ini files, we need to restart Apache. Run the following command to restart Apache:

sudo apachectl restart

Step 6: Create MySQL Database

Open Terminal and enter the following commands to create the MySQL database:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE tuleapdb;
CREATE USER 'tuleapadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tuleapdb . * TO 'tuleapadmin'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
