ZenTao is an open-source project management software that offers agile methodology support. It is designed to help teams collaborate and manage their projects efficiently. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of ZenTao on macOS.
Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Go to the ZenTao website at https://www.zentao.pm/ and click on the "Download" button on the homepage. Select the macOS version and wait for the download to complete.
After the download is complete, extract the zentao.zip file to your Apache web server document root directory. For example, if your Apache web server's document root directory is /Library/WebServer/Documents/, you can extract the file using the following command in the Terminal:
$ sudo unzip ~/Downloads/zentao.zip -d /Library/WebServer/Documents/
Make sure you have administrator privileges to perform the command above.
Open the Apache configuration file httpd.conf using a text editor like vim or nano:
$ sudo vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/zentao">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the configuration file.
Log in to MySQL using the following command:
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
When prompted, enter your MySQL root account password.
Create a new database and user for ZenTao:
mysql> create database zentaodb;
mysql> create user 'zentaouser'@'localhost' identified by 'your_password_here';
mysql> grant all privileges on zentaodb.* to 'zentaouser'@'localhost';
mysql> flush privileges;
Replace 'your_password_here' with a secure password of your choice.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/zentao/ to start the ZenTao installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ZenTao on your macOS system. You can now start using it to manage your projects.
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!
