Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation process, you will need to have the following:

• Ubuntu Server Latest
• Access to a terminal window

Step 1: Update System Packages

Begin by updating your system packages to ensure that your system is up-to-date.

Step 3: Install and Set Up MySQL

IceHrm requires a MySQL database to store its data. Install MySQL on your system using the following command:

sudo apt install -y mysql-server

Next, run the following command to secure your MySQL installation:

Answer the prompts as appropriate, and then create a new MySQL user and database for IceHrm.

Next, create a new MySQL user with the following command:

CREATE USER 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Finally, create a new database for IceHrm with the following command:

CREATE DATABASE icehrm;

Step 4: Download IceHrm

Now, download IceHrm software from the official website. To do this, run the following command:

curl -sS https://install.icehrm.com/ | sh

Step 5: Set Up Apache Configuration

Next, set up Apache configuration to serve the IceHrm files. Navigate to the Apache default configuration directory using the following command:

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available

Create a new configuration file:

sudo nano icehrm.conf

Paste the following configuration into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/icehrm/public/
    <Directory /var/www/html/icehrm/public/>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Now enable the newly created configuration:

sudo a2ensite icehrm.conf

Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2
