How to Install Admidio on POP! OS Latest

Admidio is a free, open-source web application that helps you manage your organization's members, events, and activities. In this tutorial, we'll cover the steps to install Admidio on POP! OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have the following:

• A server running POP! OS Latest
• Sudo access to the server
• A web server installed and running (we recommend Apache or Nginx)
• MySQL or MariaDB database installed and running

Step 1: Download Admidio

First, you'll need to download the latest Admidio release from the official website. You can do this by visiting www.admidio.org and clicking on the "Download Admidio" button.

Alternatively, you can use the command line to download the latest version:

wget https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/releases/download/v_4_2_1/admidio-4.2.1.zip

Step 2: Install Prerequisites

Before you can install Admidio, you'll need to install some additional packages to ensure that Admidio works correctly. To do this, open up the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install php php7.4-gd php7.4-mysql unzip

This command installs the required packages for Admidio.

Step 3: Extract Admidio

Once you've downloaded Admidio and installed the prerequisites, you'll need to extract the files. To do this, navigate to the directory where you saved the Admidio ZIP file and run the following command:

unzip admidio-4.2.1.zip

This command will extract the Admidio files to a folder called "admidio" in the directory where you saved the ZIP file.

Step 4: Configure Admidio

Now that you've extracted Admidio, you'll need to configure it. To do this, you'll need to create a virtual host or subdirectory in your web server configuration file.

For Apache, you can create a virtual host by creating a new file in the "sites-available" directory. Here is an example configuration for a virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/admidio
    ServerName admidio.example.com

    <Directory /var/www/html/admidio>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

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

For Nginx, you can create a new server block in the "sites-available" directory. Here is an example configuration for a server block:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name admidio.example.com;
    root /var/www/html/admidio;

    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
    }

    error_log /var/log/nginx/admidio-error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/admidio-access.log;
}

Once you've created the virtual host or subdirectory, restart your web server:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

or

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 5: Install Admidio

Now that you've configured Admidio, you can install it by visiting the URL you configured in your web server configuration file.

For example, if you configured a virtual host for "admidio.example.com", you can access Admidio by visiting http://admidio.example.com/ in your web browser.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process.

Conclusion

Admidio is now up and running on your POP! OS Latest server. You can start using Admidio to manage your organization's members, events, and activities.
