How to Install Quru Image Server on Manjaro

Quru Image Server (QIS) is an open-source image server for image manipulation and delivery. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Quru Image Server on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have the following software installed on your Manjaro machine:

  • Apache web server
  • PHP
  • Git

Installation

Step 1: Clone the Quru Image Server Repository

First, open the Terminal of your Manjaro system and clone the Quru Image Server repository from Github using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/quru/qis.git

This will create a new directory named qis in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install Required PHP Extensions

Navigate to the qis directory using the following command:

cd qis

Then, install the required PHP extensions using the following command:

sudo pacman -S php-gd php-intl

Step 3: Configure Apache Virtual Host

To configure the Quru Image Server with Apache, create a new virtual host file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/qis.conf

Paste the following configuration code into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName qis.local
DocumentRoot "/path/to/qis/public"
ErrorLog "/path/to/qis/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "/path/to/qis/logs/access.log" common

<Directory "/path/to/qis/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace /path/to/qis with the actual path to the QIS directory on your system.

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Enable the Virtual Host

To enable the Quru Image Server virtual host, run the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/qis.conf /etc/httpd/conf-enabled/

Step 5: Restart Apache

To apply the changes, restart the Apache web server using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Verify Installation

To verify that Quru Image Server is running correctly, open your web browser and go to http://qis.local/qis-demo.html.
