How to Install Traq on Clear Linux Latest

Traq is a free and open-source PHP web-based project management system. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Traq on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before beginning this tutorial, you should have the following:

  1. A running instance of Clear Linux Latest. You can download the latest version from the official website.
  2. A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install the required packages

We need to install some required packages before we can start with the installation of Traq.

To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl php-basic

This command will install the OpenSSL development package and the latest version of PHP.

Step 2: Download and Install Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. We need to install Composer to install the required dependencies for Traq.

To install Composer, run the following command:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

This command will download the Composer installer and install it on your system.

Now, move the downloaded composer file to the bin directory using the following command:

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Step 3: Download and Install Traq

We can now install Traq on our Clear Linux Latest system. Follow the steps below:

  1. Download the latest stable release of Traq from the official website using the following command:
curl -sS https://traq.io/download/latest -o traq.zip
  1. Unzip the downloaded file using the following command:
unzip traq.zip -d /var/www/html/
  1. Install the required dependencies using Composer by running the following command:
cd /var/www/html/traq/
sudo composer install --no-dev -o

This command will install the required dependencies for Traq.

  1. Set the correct permissions to the files and directories:
sudo chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/html/traq/

Step 4: Configure Traq

To configure Traq, we need to create a new database and a user with the necessary privileges.

  1. Log in to the MySQL server using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
  1. Create a new database using the following command:
CREATE DATABASE traq_db;
  1. Create a new user with the necessary privileges using the following command:
GRANT ALL ON traq_db.* TO 'traq_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Note: Replace the 'password' with a strong password.

  1. Exit the MySQL server using the following command:
exit
  1. Open the Traq configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/traq/config.php
  1. Update the database settings with the following details:
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'traq_db');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'traq_user');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

Note: Replace the 'password' with the one you set in Step 4.

  1. Save and close the file.

Step 5: Configure Apache web server

To access Traq in your web browser, we need to configure Apache web server.

  1. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
  1. Uncomment the following line by removing the '#' sign:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
  1. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
<Directory "/var/www/html/">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

  1. Save and close the file.

  2. Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Access Traq

You can now access Traq in your web browser by navigating to the following URL:

http://<IP_address_or_domain_name>/traq/

Note: Replace '' with the IP address or domain name of your Clear Linux Latest system.

You should now have successfully installed Traq on Clear Linux Latest.
