How to install PartKeepr on Void Linux

PartKeepr is an open-source inventory management software that helps you keep track of your electronic components and their usage. This tutorial will guide you on how to install PartKeepr on Void Linux.

Step 1: Update your system

Before installing PartKeepr, it's always good to update your system's package list and upgrade your installed packages to their latest versions. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo xbps-install -Suv

Step 2: Install required packages

PartKeepr requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be installed on Void Linux. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:

sudo xbps-install -y apache2 mysql mysql-client php7 php7-mysqli php7-gd php7-curl php7-cli php7-mbstring php7-xml php7-zip

Step 3: Download PartKeepr

You can download the latest version of PartKeepr from the official website, or you can use the following command to download it directly from the terminal:

wget https://github.com/partkeepr/PartKeepr/releases/download/1.4.0/partkeepr-1.4.0.zip

Step 4: Extract PartKeepr

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command:

unzip partkeepr-1.4.0.zip -d /var/www/html/

This command will extract the PartKeepr files to the Apache2 document root directory.

Step 5: Set permissions

After extracting the files, you need to set the correct ownership and permissions for the PartKeepr directory. You can do this by running the following commands:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/partkeepr/
sudo find /var/www/html/partkeepr/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
sudo find /var/www/html/partkeepr/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

Step 6: Configure Apache2

Once the permissions are set, you need to configure Apache2 to serve the PartKeepr files. You can do this by creating the following file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/partkeepr.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

Alias /partkeepr /var/www/html/partkeepr/web
<Directory /var/www/html/partkeepr/web>
    AllowOverride All
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Step 7: Restart Apache2 and MySQL

Once the configuration is complete, you need to restart Apache2 and MySQL to apply the changes. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service mysqld restart

Step 8: Access PartKeepr

You can now access PartKeepr by opening your web browser and navigating to the following address:

http://localhost/partkeepr

You should now see the PartKeepr login screen. Login using the default username admin and password admin. Once you have logged in, you can start using PartKeepr to manage your electronic components.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PartKeepr on Void Linux.
