How to Install Kleeja on Linux Mint

Kleeja is a free and open-source file hosting and sharing script that allows you to easily manage and share files on your website. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kleeja on Linux Mint.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • A user account with sudo privileges
  • Apache and PHP installed and configured
  • MySQL/MariaDB installed and configured

If you don't have these, you can install them using the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php mysql-server php-mysql

Step 1: Download Kleeja

First, you need to download the latest version of Kleeja from the official website. You can use the following command to download it:

wget https://github.com/kleeja-official/kleeja/releases/download/2.3/kleeja-2.3.zip

After the download is complete, extract the zip file:

unzip kleeja-2.3.zip

Step 2: Install Kleeja

Once you have downloaded Kleeja, you need to move it to the appropriate directory. In this case, we will be moving it to the /var/www/html/ directory:

sudo mv kleeja-2.3 /var/www/html/

Then, give the www-data user ownership of the Kleeja directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3

Now, change to the Kleeja directory by running the following command:

cd /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3/

Next, run the installation script using the following command:

sudo php install.php

The installation script will guide you through the process of setting up your Kleeja site.

You will need to provide the following information:

  • MySQL/MariaDB username and password
  • Kleeja administrator account information (username, password and email)

Step 3: Configure Apache

To configure Apache to work with Kleeja, create a virtual host file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/kleeja.conf

Then, add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3/
    <Directory /var/www/html/kleeja-2.3/>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.

Enable the virtual host by running the following command:

sudo a2ensite kleeja.conf

Then, reload Apache:

sudo systemctl reload apache2

Step 4: Test Kleeja

To confirm that Kleeja is working, open your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the Kleeja homepage.
