Installing Phorge on MXLinux Latest

Phorge is an open-source project management software that is well-suited for developers. To install Phorge on MXLinux latest, follow the following steps:

Step 1: Install required dependencies

Before installing Phorge, you need to install some dependencies, including Apache2, MySQL, and PHP. Open your terminal and run the following command to install these dependencies.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-mbstring php-common php-curl php-json php-xml php-zip

Step 2: Download Phorge

Go to the Phorge website and download the latest version of Phorge. After downloading, extract the archive file to the document root of your Apache webserver. In MXLinux, the Apache document root is /var/www/html/, so extract the archive file to that folder.

cd /var/www/html
sudo tar -xvf <path_to_downloaded_archive_file>
sudo mv <extracted_folder_name> phorge

Step 3: Configure MySQL

Create a new MySQL database for Phorge by logging into your MySQL server and running the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL password when prompted. Then, create a new database named phorge by running the following command:

CREATE DATABASE phorge;

Create a new user named phorgeuser and grant all permissions to the database phorge by running the following command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phorge.* TO 'phorgeuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Make sure to change password to a strong password of your choice.

Step 4: Configure Phorge

Copy the config/local/local.json.sample file to config/local/local.json and edit it to match your configurations. You need to set the file path of your database (e.g. /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock) and the name of the database (phorge), the username of the MySQL user (phorgeuser), and the password of the MySQL user.

Save the file and restart Apache by running the following command:

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 5: Access Phorge

Open your web browser and enter the following URL:

http://localhost/phorge/

You will see the Phorge login page. Login with the default username and password:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin

You can change your password and create new users when you log in.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Phorge on MXLinux latest.
