How to Install Roadiz on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Roadiz, an open-source content management system, on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A user account with sudo privileges on your Void Linux system.
• A web server (such as Apache, Nginx, or Lighttpd) installed and configured.
• PHP version 7 or higher installed.
• The composer, unzip, and git packages installed.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To start the installation, first, update the package manager using the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Suy

Then install the required dependencies using the following command:

sudo xbps-install php php-pdo php-json php-phar php-curl php-mysqlnd php-xml composer unzip git

Step 2: Download and Extract Roadiz

Next, download the latest version of Roadiz from https://github.com/roadiz/roadiz/releases/latest and extract it using the following commands:

mkdir -p /var/www/roadiz
cd /var/www/roadiz
sudo wget https://github.com/roadiz/roadiz/releases/latest/download/roadiz-standard.zip
sudo unzip roadiz-standard.zip
sudo rm -rf roadiz-standard.zip

Step 3: Install Roadiz Dependencies

Navigate into the extracted Roadiz directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:

cd /var/www/roadiz
sudo composer install

Step 4: Configure the Database

Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database and user for Roadiz using the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL/MariaDB root password when prompted, and then run the following commands to create the database and user:

CREATE DATABASE roadiz;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roadiz.* TO 'roadizuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Replace 'password' with your desired password for the Roadiz database user.

Step 5: Configure Roadiz

Copy the .env.dist file to .env and edit the database settings with your MySQL/MariaDB database credentials using the following commands:

cd /var/www/roadiz
sudo cp .env.dist .env
sudo nano .env

Change the following variables to match your database credentials:

DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_PORT=3306
DATABASE_NAME=roadiz
DATABASE_USER=roadizuser
DATABASE_PASSWORD=password

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Install Roadiz
