sudo git clone --recursive https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam.git

The above command will clone the phpIPAM repository to the /var/www/html directory on your system.

##Step 3: Configure Web Server After cloning the repository, you need to configure the Apache web server. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpipam.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phpipam/
    ServerName your-domain.com # replace with your domain name
    <Directory /var/www/html/phpipam/>

        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

CREATE DATABASE phpipam;
CREATE USER 'phpipam_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpipam.* TO 'phpipam_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace your_password with a strong password for the user.

##Step 5: Install phpIPAM phpIPAM uses Composer to manage its dependencies. Change the directory to the phpIPAM directory and run the following command to install the dependencies:

cd /var/www/html/phpipam

sudo composer install

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'phpipam');
define('DB_USER', 'phpipam_user');
define('DB_PASS', 'your_password'); # replace with the password you created earlier
