Prerequisites

Before installing RosarioSIS, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

A server running the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Access to the server via SSH.
Basic knowledge of Linux terminal commands.

Step 1: Install Apache and MariaDB on Fedora CoreOS

The first step is to install Apache and MariaDB on Fedora CoreOS. Follow the below commands in order to install Apache and MariaDB on your Fedora CoreOS system.

sudo rpm-ostree install httpd mariadb-server

Once you run the above command, the installation will start for Apache and MariaDB, please wait until the installation is complete.

Step 2: Install PHP and Required Extensions

In this step, we will install PHP and the required extensions for RosarioSIS to function. Run the following command to install PHP and its extensions.

sudo rpm-ostree install php php-common php-gd php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-pdo php-xml php-xmlrpc

The above command will install PHP and the extensions required for RosarioSIS to work.

Step 3: Download RosarioSIS

In this step, we will download the latest version of RosarioSIS from the official website. The latest version can be downloaded from the following link: https://www.rosariosis.org/download/.

cd /var/www/html/
sudo wget https://www.rosariosis.org/inc/download.php?f=rosariosis-latest.zip

Step 4: Extract RosarioSIS

Once the download is complete, run the following command to extract RosarioSIS.

sudo unzip rosariosis-latest.zip

Step 5: Set Permissions

Set the appropriate permissions for the extracted files and directories.

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/rosariosis
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/rosariosis

Step 6: Create a Database for RosarioSIS

Create a new database and database user for RosarioSIS by running the following commands.

mysql -u root -p

After running this command, you will see a prompt to enter your MySQL root password. Once you enter the password, you will be logged in to the MySQL shell.

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE rosariosisdb;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON rosariosisdb.* TO 'rosariosisuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'supersecret';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> EXIT;

In the above commands, we created a database named rosariosisdb and a database user named rosariosisuser with the password supersecret. Ensure that you choose a secure password for your database user.

Step 7: Configure Apache for RosarioSIS

Create a virtual host file for RosarioSIS under /etc/httpd/conf.d/.

    ServerName your-domain.com
    <Directory /var/www/html/rosariosis>

    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/rosariosis_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/rosariosis_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit.

Enable and start the Apache and MariaDB services.
