How to Install Tine - Community Edition on macOS

Tine - Community Edition is an open-source groupware application that can be used for managing contact lists, email, appointments, and more. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Tine - Community Edition on macOS.

Requirements

Before we start, make sure that you have the following requirements installed on your macOS:

• Homebrew (package manager)
• Apache (web server)
• PHP (version 7.3 or higher)

Steps

Follow the steps below to install Tine - Community Edition on your macOS:

1. Open the Terminal app on your macOS and run the following command to install Homebrew:

   /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   

2. Use the brew package manager to install Apache and PHP:

   brew install httpd
   brew install php@7.4
   

3. Once Apache and PHP are installed, we need to configure Apache to use PHP. Open the httpd.conf file:

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

4. Find the following line in the file and uncomment it by removing the # symbol:

   LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.4/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so
   

5. Save and close the file.

6. Run the following command to start Apache:

   sudo apachectl start
   

7. Head to the Tine - Community Edition GitHub page (https://github.com/tine20/tine20) and download the latest release.

8. Extract the downloaded ZIP file and move it to the Apache web server’s document root:

   sudo mv tine20-x.y.z /usr/local/var/www/html/tine20
   

Note: Replace tine20-x.y.z with the actual name of the extracted folder.

9. Give ownership of the tine20 folder to the Apache web server:

   sudo chown -R _www:_www /usr/local/var/www/html/tine20
   

10. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file:

    sudo nano /usr/local/etc/httpd/other/tine20.conf
    

11. Add the following content to the file:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "/usr/local/var/www/html/tine20"
        ServerName localhost
        <Directory "/usr/local/var/www/html/tine20">
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
    

12. Save and close the file.

13. Restart Apache to apply the changes:

    sudo apachectl restart
    

14. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost/tine20 to access Tine - Community Edition.
