Installing Chyrp Lite on Manjaro

Chyrp Lite is a lightweight, easy-to-use blogging platform that can be easily installed on a Manjaro system. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step through the installation process.

Prerequisites

Before installing Chyrp Lite, you should ensure that your Manjaro system has the following packages installed:

Apache server
PHP
MySQL server

You can install these packages by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo pacman -S apache php mariadb

Installing Chyrp Lite

Download Chyrp Lite from the official website by visiting https://chyrplite.net/ and clicking on the "Download" button. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest version of Chyrp Lite directly to your Manjaro system:
```
wget https://github.com/xenocrat/chyrp-lite/archive/master.zip
```
Extract the downloaded file to the /var/www directory, which is the default root directory for Apache on Manjaro:
```
sudo unzip master.zip -d /var/www/html/
```
Change the ownership of the Chyrp Lite installation directory to the Apache user:
```
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/html/chyrp-lite-master
```

Create a MySQL database and user for Chyrp Lite:

sudo mysql -u root -p

# You will be prompted to enter the MySQL root password here
CREATE DATABASE chyrp_lite;
CREATE USER 'chyrp_lite_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chyrp_lite.* TO 'chyrp_lite_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Rename the dbconfig.php.example file to dbconfig.php:

cd /var/www/html/chyrp-lite-master/includes/
cp dbconfig.php.example dbconfig.php

Edit the dbconfig.php file and update the database connection details:

define ('SQL_DRIVER', 'mysql');
define ('SQL_HOST', 'localhost');
define ('SQL_DATABASE', 'chyrp_lite');
define ('SQL_USERNAME', 'chyrp_lite_user');
define ('SQL_PASSWORD', 'your_password');

Open a web browser and enter your server's IP address or domain name followed by /chyrp-lite-master/ to access the Chyrp Lite installer, for example http://example.com/chyrp-lite-master/.
Follow the prompts to set up your Chyrp Lite installation, including configuring your admin account, blog name, and URL.
Once the installer has completed, you can log in to the Chyrp Lite admin dashboard by visiting http://your_domain/admin.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Chyrp Lite on Manjaro!
