Enter your root password when prompted.

CREATE DATABASE galette;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON galette.* TO 'galetteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strongpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace 'strongpassword' with a strong password you choose.

Step 3: Download and Extract Galette

Download the latest version of Galette from the official website: https://galette.eu/dc/.

Open your terminal and enter the following command to navigate to your downloads folder:

cd Downloads/

Extract the downloaded Galette package using the following command:

Step 4: Move Galette to the Web Server Directory

Now you need to move the extracted Galette folder into the web server directory at /srv/http/. Use the following command in your terminal:

sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/galette

Step 5: Configure Galette

After moving the Galette directory, you need to configure it. Create a virtual host for Galette by creating the file /etc/httpd/conf/extra/galette.conf and add the following code to it:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-server-name
    DocumentRoot "/srv/http/galette"
    <Directory "/srv/http/galette">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note: Replace your-server-name with your server name or domain name.

Save the file and restart Apache HTTP server:
