How to install Leed on Clear Linux Latest

Leed is a lightweight RSS reader that allows you to follow your favorite news sources and blogs in one place. It is an open-source project available on GitHub. Here's how you can install Leed on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you will need:

A Clear Linux latest installation with sudo privileges
A web server installed on your system. In this tutorial, we'll be using Apache server

Installing Dependencies

Before installing Leed, we need to install some dependencies on Clear Linux. Execute the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl devpkg-sqlite

Installing Apache

As mentioned earlier, we'll be using the Apache server to serve the Leed application. Follow these steps to install and configure Apache on Clear Linux:

Install the Apache server using the command:
```
sudo swupd package-install httpd
```
Start the Apache server using the command:
```
sudo systemctl start httpd
```

Check the status of the Apache server using the command:

sudo systemctl status httpd

You should see an output similar to:

● httpd.service - Apache Web Server
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-10-04 15:57:39 PDT; 11s ago
   Main PID: 2374 (httpd)
      Tasks: 6 (limit: 46845)
     Memory: 2.1M
        CPU: 32ms
     CGroup: /system.slice/httpd.service
             ├─2374 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
             ├─2375 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
             ├─2376 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
             ├─2377 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
             ├─2378 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
             └─2379 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND

Configure Apache to start on system boot:
```
sudo systemctl enable httpd
```

Installing Leed

Now that we have Apache installed and configured let’s move on to the installation of Leed.

Clone the Leed repository using the command:
```
git clone https://github.com/LeedRSS/Leed
```
Copy the Leed files to the Apache web server directory using the commands:
```
sudo cp -r Leed/* /srv/http/
sudo chown -R nobody:nobody /srv/http
```
We need to create a configuration file for Leed. Execute the following command:
```
sudo cp /srv/http/config.default.php /srv/http/config.php
```

Edit the configuration file using the command:

sudo nano /srv/http/config.php

Update the following section with your desired settings:

// Database info
define('MYSQL_USERNAME', '');
define('MYSQL_PASSWORD', '');
define('MYSQL_HOST', '');
define('MYSQL_DATABASE', '');

// Default credentials
define('DEFAULT_USERNAME', 'admin');
define('DEFAULT_PASSWORD', 'admin');

Save and close the editor.

Create an empty SQLite database using the following command:
```
touch db.sqlite
chmod 666 db.sqlite
```
That's it! Now you should be able to access Leed by visiting http://localhost on your browser.
