How to Install Alltube on Manjaro

Alltube is an open-source web application that allows you to download videos from various websites, including YouTube, Vimeo, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Alltube on Manjaro using the command line.

Prerequisites

Before starting to install Alltube, you must have the following:

• A system running Manjaro with sudo access
• A stable internet connection

Installing Dependencies

Before starting the installation process, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git apache mariadb php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-mysql python python-pip python-pygments

This command will install git, Apache, MariaDB, PHP, and some other required dependencies.

Downloading Alltube

Next, we need to download the Alltube source code from GitHub. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube.git /var/www/html/alltube

This command will clone Alltube's source code repository into the /var/www/html/alltube directory.

Configuring MariaDB

Alltube uses MariaDB as a database backend. So, we need to create a database and a user for Alltube. Run the following command to log in to MariaDB:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MariaDB root password to log in.

Next, create a new database by running the following commands:

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

Replace the 'password' string with a secure password of your choice.

Configuring Apache

We need to configure Apache to serve the Alltube application. Run the following command to open the Apache configuration file with a text editor:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

<Directory /var/www/html/alltube>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Alias /alltube "/var/www/html/alltube"

Press Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter to save and close the file.

Next, start the Apache service and enable it to start at boot:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Configuring Alltube

We need to configure Alltube by creating a configuration file. Run the following commands to copy the sample configuration file and make a new configuration file:

cd /var/www/html/alltube
cp config.sample.ini config.ini

Next, edit the configuration file using your preferred text editor:

nano config.ini

Modify the following lines:

DATASOURCE = 'passwd://alltube:password@localhost/alltube'

Replace 'password' with the password you entered while configuring MariaDB.

Save and close the file.

Installing Required Python Packages

Alltube requires some Python packages to function properly. Run the following command to install them:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Starting Alltube

Start the Alltube application by running the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

This command will start the Alltube application on port 8000.

Accessing Alltube

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access the Alltube application. Log in using the default username 'admin' and password 'admin.'

Conclusion

You have successfully installed the Alltube application on your Manjaro system. You can now use the application to download videos from various websites.
