Step 1: Update the System
Before we begin, make sure your system is up to date. Run the following command to update your system.

Step 2: Installing Dependencies
Collective Access - Providence requires some dependencies that need to be installed before we proceed with the installation process. The following command will install all the necessary dependencies.

Step 4: Unzip the Package
Once the package has been downloaded, extract the .zip file by running the following command:
sudo unzip providence-1.7.8.zip -d /var/www/
Step 5: Rename the Folder
Now, we need to rename the folder to make it easier to access. Use the following command to rename the folder.

Next, set the permissions on the /var/www/providence/app/tmp folder.

Step 7: Create a Virtual Host
Now we need to create a virtual host to access the Providence application from a web browser. First, create a new Apache configuration file for the virtual host.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/providence.conf
Add the following content inside this file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/providence
<Directory /var/www/providence>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note: Replace example.com with your domain name.
Step 8: Restart Apache
Finally, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes we have made.
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
