b2evolution is a powerful and easy-to-use Content Management System(CMS) that allows you to create and manage your blog, forum, or community website. If you're a macOS user and want to install b2evolution CMS on your system, this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Before we can begin with the installation process, there are a few requirements you need to have:
Firstly, you need to visit the official website of b2evolution at https://b2evolution.net/ and download the latest version of the CMS.
Alternatively, you can run the following command to download it via terminal:
curl -o b2evolution.zip https://github.com/b2evolution/b2evolution/releases/download/7.2.3/b2evolution-7.2.3-stable.zip
Once you have downloaded the CMS, extract the downloaded zip file. You can do this by double-clicking on the downloaded file or running the following command in the terminal:
unzip b2evolution.zip
This will create a new directory called b2evolution
in the current directory.
After you have extracted the files, move the b2evolution
directory to the root directory of your web server. If you're using Apache web server, move the directory to /Library/WebServer/Documents/
. For Nginx user, move the directory to /usr/local/var/www/
.
You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo mv b2evolution /Library/WebServer/Documents/
Next, we need to create a MySQL database for b2evolution CMS to use.
You can create a new database and user by running the following commands in the MySQL terminal:
CREATE DATABASE b2evolution;
CREATE USER 'b2evolution_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON b2evolution.* TO 'b2evolution_user'@'localhost';
Replace your_password_here
with a secure password of your choice.
Now that you have moved the b2evolution directory and created the MySQL database, you need to configure the CMS.
http://localhost/b2evolution/install
.Start installation
.Install b2evolution
.With the above installation guide, you should be able to install b2evolution CMS on your macOS machine, and start using it to create and manage your website. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the official documentation at https://b2evolution.net/man/installation/.
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!
