How to Install SheetAble on NetBSD

SheetAble is a web-based spreadsheet application that allows you to create, edit and share your spreadsheets online. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install SheetAble on NetBSD.

Prerequisites:

• NetBSD server with root access
• Apache web server installed
• PHP 7.0 or above installed

Steps:

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies for SheetAble. Run the following command to install the required PHP extensions:

pkgin install php73-gd php73-pdo_mysql php73-mysqli php73-json php73-curl php73-dom php73-zip php73-session php73-exif php73-iconv php73-xml

Step 2: Download SheetAble

Next, we need to download the SheetAble installation files. Run the following command on your NetBSD server to download the latest version of SheetAble:

cd /var/www/html/
wget https://sheetable.net/download/sheetable-latest.zip

Step 3: Extract SheetAble

After downloading the SheetAble installation package, we need to extract it into the Apache web root directory. Run the following command to extract the files:

unzip sheetable-latest.zip

Step 4: Configure SheetAble

The next step is to configure SheetAble for your NetBSD web server. First, rename the configuration file:

cd sheetable
cp config/config.default.php config/config.php

Next, edit the SheetAble configuration file using your preferred text editor:

vi config/config.php

Modify the following settings:

define('BASEPATH', '/sheetable/');
define('SITE_URL', 'http://localhost/sheetable');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_PORT', '3306');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_mysql_root_password');
define('DB_NAME', 'sheetable');
define('SESSION_NAME', 'sheetable');
define('ENABLE_REGISTRATION', true);

Step 5: Create a MySQL Database

To store SheetAble data, we need to create a new MySQL database. Run the following command to create a new database:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE sheetable;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sheetable.* TO 'sheetable_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;

Step 6: Run the Installation Wizard

The final step is to run the SheetAble installation wizard. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/sheetable/install. Follow the installation wizard instructions to complete the installation.

Congratulations! SheetAble is now installed on your NetBSD server. You can access SheetAble by visiting http://localhost/sheetable in your web browser.
