How to Install Admidio on Manjaro

Admidio is a free, open-source management tool for any kind of club or organization. It is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Admidio on Manjaro using the terminal:

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

  1. A Manjaro system with root access
  2. LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL, and PHP) installed and configured

Step 1: Download Admidio

Open a terminal window and enter the following command to download the latest version of Admidio: 

wget https://www.admidio.org/packages/admidio_3.3.2.zip

This will download a ZIP file containing the Admidio installation files.

Step 2: Extract Admidio

Run the following command to unzip and extract the downloaded file: 

unzip admidio_3.3.2.zip

This should create a new folder named admidio_3.3.2.

Step 3: Move Admidio to Apache

Move the newly created admidio_3.3.2 folder to your Apache root directory by executing the following command: 

sudo mv admidio_3.3.2 /srv/http/

Step 4: Set Permissions

To ensure that Admidio can read and write to the necessary files, you need to change the permissions of the admidio_3.3.2 folder. Use this command to change them: 

sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/admidio_3.3.2

Step 5: Create a MySQL Database

Admidio requires a MySQL database to store its data. Use the following command to create a new database: 

sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace dbname, username, and password with your own values.

Step 6: Run the Admidio Installation Script

In your web browser, navigate to http://localhost/admidio_3.3.2/install.php to run the installation script. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

Step 7: Configure Admidio

After installation, you can configure Admidio in the admin panel by logging in with the default username "admin" and the password "admin". From there, you can customize the options to fit your club or organization.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Admidio on your Manjaro system!
