Installing InvoicePlane on EndeavourOS Latest

InvoicePlane is a free, open-source invoicing application that allows you to manage your invoices, clients, payments, and other billing-related tasks. Here's how to install InvoicePlane on your EndeavourOS Latest system using the GitHub repository.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• A web server (Apache or Nginx)
• PHP 7.2 or later with required extensions
• MySQL or MariaDB database
• Git version control system

You can install these prerequisites using the following commands:

sudo pacman -S nginx php php-fpm php-gd php-mysql mariadb git

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Clone the InvoicePlane repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane.git

2. Copy the downloaded files to the document root directory of your web server:

sudo cp -r InvoicePlane /srv/http/

3. Navigate to the config directory and copy the ipconfig.php.example file to ipconfig.php:

cd /srv/http/InvoicePlane/application/config/
sudo cp ipconfig.php.example ipconfig.php

4. Open the ipconfig.php file in a text editor and update the following settings according to your system configuration:

$config['base_url']       = 'http://your-domain.com/'; # your domain or IP address
$config['index_page']     = '';
$config['uri_protocol']   = 'AUTO';
$config['encryption_key'] = ''; # specify a unique key
$config['sess_save_path'] = BASEPATH . 'cache/session/';
$config['sess_match_ip']  = false;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;

5. Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database and user for InvoicePlane:

CREATE DATABASE invoiceplane_db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON invoiceplane_db.* TO 'invoiceplane_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

6. Run the setup script from the ipconfig.php directory:

cd /srv/http/InvoicePlane/
sudo php index.php setup

7. Follow the setup wizard to configure your InvoicePlane installation. Enter the database details and other necessary information.

8. Once the setup is complete, set the appropriate file permissions for the uploads and application/logs directories:

sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/InvoicePlane/uploads/
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/InvoicePlane/application/logs/

9. If you're using Nginx, create a new server block in the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your-domain.com; # your domain or IP address
    root /srv/http/InvoicePlane/;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

10. Restart your web server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

11. Access the InvoicePlane web interface using your domain or IP address in a web browser:
