Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation of Roadiz, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

A system running POP! OS

Composer is a package manager for PHP. In order to install Roadiz, we need to install Composer on our system. To install Composer, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install composer

Download and Install Roadiz

Once you have installed Apache, PHP, and Composer; you can download and install Roadiz.

First, create a new directory in your document root directory using the following command:
```
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/roadiz
```
Change the owner of the /var/www/html/roadiz directory to your username by running the following command:
```
sudo chown -R your-username /var/www/html/roadiz
```
Download the latest Roadiz version from the official website using the following command:
```
cd /var/www/html/roadiz
sudo composer create-project roadiz/standard .
```
Once the installation process is complete, change the permissions of the /var/www/html/roadiz directory by executing the following command:
```
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/roadiz
```

Configure Apache for Roadiz

The final step is to set up Apache for Roadiz.

Create a new Apache configuration file using the following command:
```
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/roadiz.conf
```

Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/roadiz/web
        <Directory /var/www/html/roadiz/web>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and exit the editor.
Disable the default Apache site configuration and enable the configuration file for Roadiz using the following commands:
```
