How to Install Tania on Elementary OS Latest

Tania is an open-source agriculture management software that helps farmers to manage their crops, farm resources, and workers. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Tania on Elementary OS latest.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:

A running instance of Elementary OS Latest
A Terminal application
sudo privilege or root access

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

The first step in installing Tania is to install the required dependencies on your system. Open the terminal application and enter the following command to update your system:

sudo apt update

Next, install the required dependencies by running the following command:

sudo apt install curl git unzip sqlite3 php7.4-cli php7.4-curl php7.4-gd php7.4-json php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml

Step 2 - Install Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. Tania requires Composer to manage its dependencies. To install Composer, follow these steps:

Open your terminal.

Run the following command to download the Composer installer:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php

Next, run the command to verify the installer's SHA-384 hash:
```
HASH=`curl -sS https://composer.github.io/installer.sig`
```

You should see output similar to this:

HASH=`curl -sS https://composer.github.io/installer.sig`

Run the following command to install Composer:

sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Step 3 - Download and Install Tania

In this step, we will download the latest version of Tania from the official website and install it on our system.

Open the terminal application.
Use the cd command to navigate to your Downloads directory:
```
cd ~/Downloads
```
Run the following command to download the latest version of Tania:
```
git clone https://github.com/Tanibox/tania-core.git
```
Once the download is complete, navigate to the tania-core directory:
```
cd tania-core
```
Run the following command to install the required dependencies using Composer:
```
composer install
```
Next, run the following command to configure the .env file:
```
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit the .env file and set the database settings:

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=/absolute/path/to/database.sqlite

Create a new SQLite database by running the following command:
```
touch database.sqlite
```
Finally, run the command to migrate the database schema:
```
php artisan migrate
```

Step 4 - Start Tania

In this final step, we will start Tania and access it from our web browser.

Run the following command to start the Tania server:
```
php artisan serve
```
Once the server is started, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access the Tania web interface.
