Installing Lavagna on POP! OS

Lavagna is a web-based open-source project management system that allows users to manage their projects easily. If you are looking to install Lavagna on your POP! OS, this tutorial will guide you through the process.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

  • POP! OS latest version installed.
  • Internet connectivity
  • Terminal with administrative privileges

Installation Steps

  1. Open your Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
  2. To start the installation process, make sure that the system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
  1. Next, you need to install required dependencies. Run the following command to install dependencies:
sudo apt install git apache2 php php-curl php7.4-mbstring libapache2-mod-php
  1. Once the dependencies are installed, use the following command to navigate to the /var/www/ directory:
cd /var/www/
  1. Now, you need to clone the Lavagna repository from GitHub. Run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/digitalfun/Lavagna.git
  1. After the clone operation completes, use the following command to set the proper permissions for the Lavagna directory:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data Lavagna/
sudo chmod -R 750 Lavagna/
  1. Next, create a Virtual Host for Lavagna on Apache server. Use the following command to create a Virtual Host file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/lavagna.conf
  1. Then, copy and paste the following code to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_server_domain_or_IP
    DocumentRoot /var/www/Lavagna/public

    <Directory /var/www/Lavagna/public>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace your_server_domain_or_IP with your actual server domain or IP address.

  1. Now, you need to enable the Lavagna Virtual Host and Apache Rewrite Module. Run the following commands:
sudo a2ensite lavagna.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite
  1. Next, you need to restart the Apache service to apply the changes. Run the following command:
sudo service apache2 restart
  1. Finally, open up your web browser and navigate to http://your_server_domain_or_IP. Lavagna installation page will be displayed. Follow the screen instructions to configure Lavagna.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Lavagna on your POP! OS system. You can now use it to manage your projects easily.
