How to Install Eqivo on Arch Linux

Eqivo is an open-source content management system designed for small to medium-sized websites. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Eqivo on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

A running Arch Linux system.
A non-root user with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Update the System

The first step is to update your system's package list and upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions. Open your terminal and run the following commands:

sudo pacman -Syu

It may take some time to complete the upgrade process depending on your system speed and internet connection. Once the upgrade is complete, reboot your system:

sudo reboot

Step 2: Install Apache and PHP

Eqivo requires a web server (Apache) and PHP to run on your system. To install them, execute the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache

The above command installs Apache web server and PHP with Apache module.

Step 3: Configure Apache

Next, we need to configure Apache to run Eqivo. Open the Apache configuration file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName eqivo.local
    DocumentRoot /usr/share/webapps/eqivo
    <Directory /usr/share/webapps/eqivo>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 4: Install Eqivo

Now, we can install Eqivo on our system using the following command:

sudo pacman -S eqivo

It will install Eqivo and any dependencies required.

Step 5: Start Apache and Enable PHP Module

Now we can start the Apache service and enable the PHP module using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable php-apache.service

Step 6: Test Eqivo

Now we can test Eqivo by opening your web browser and navigating to http://eqivo.local. You should see Eqivo's homepage.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Eqivo on Arch Linux. You can now use Eqivo to create and manage your websites.
