In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Plone CMS on a Fedora Server latest in order to set up a website.
Prerequisites
- A running instance of Fedora Server latest
- Access to the terminal with root privileges
- A stable internet connection
Step 1: Update System
To begin with, make sure that your Fedora Server is up to date by running the following command in your terminal:
dnf update -y
Step 2: Install Dependencies for Plone
Plone is built on top of Python and Zope, so first of all, we need to install the necessary packages that are required for Plone. Execute the following commands to install them:
dnf install -y nano wget
dnf install -y gcc
dnf install -y zlib-devel openssl-devel bzip2-devel
dnf install -y libffi-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel
Step 3: Install Python
Plone requires a specific version of Python to function properly. So, we are using Python 2.7 to avoid any compatibility issues.
To install Python 2.7, execute the following commands:
dnf install -y python2
Step 4: Download Plone
With Python installed, let's move on to downloading the latest stable version of Plone.
Head over to the official website at https://plone.org/download/releases and find the latest version for Fedora Server latest, copy the download link to your clipboard.

Step 5: Install Plone
Once downloaded, extract the archive and change the directory to the extracted folder, and then execute the following command:
./install.sh standalone --target=/opt/plone --instance=plone zeo
This command will install Plone and other necessary components in the /opt/plone directory and set up a ZEO (Zope Enterprise Object) server.
Step 6: Start Plone
Now, let's initiate the Plone instance we just installed by running the following command:
/opt/plone/zeocluster/bin/plonectl start
Plone should now be running and can be accessed browsing the website on the IP address or domain name with port 8080. You can check the status of Plone by running the following command:
