Step 1: Download PHP Server Monitor
To download PHP Server Monitor onto your Manjaro system, run the following command in your terminal:

This will download the latest version of PHP Server Monitor onto your system.
Step 2: Extract the downloaded package
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory containing the downloaded file using the following command:

Note: /var/www/html/phpservermonitor/ is the default directory to place PHP Server Monitor.
Step 3: Configure permissions

Step 4: Create a database
PHP Server Monitor uses a MySQL database to store and manage its data. Use the following command in your terminal to create a new database:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE psm;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON psm.* TO 'psmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Note: Replace 'yourpassword' with a strong password of your own choice.
Step 5: Start the installation process
Now, in your web browser, navigate to http://localhost/phpservermonitor/install and you should see the installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation process, you will be asked to enter the database information that you created in Step 4.
Step 6: Configure PHP Server Monitor
Once installation is complete, open the config.php file located in the root directory of PHP Server Monitor (/var/www/html/phpservermonitor/) using your preferred text editor.
sudo vi /var/www/html/phpservermonitor/config.php
Update the database details that you created in Step 4 and configure other settings, if necessary.
Once you have made the necessary changes, save and close the file.
Step 7: Finalize Installation
Lastly, restart the Apache2 web server using the following command to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
