How to Install IceHrm on nixOS latest

IceHrm is a comprehensive HR management software that covers all aspects of human resources, including payroll management, time and attendance tracking, employee performance evaluation, and much more. If you're using nixOS and looking to install IceHrm, follow these instructions to get started.

Step 1: Open a Terminal

The first step is to open a terminal on your nixOS system. You can do this by clicking on the terminal icon in your system's menu or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T.

Step 2: Install Git

Before we can install IceHrm, we need to install Git, which is a version control system used to manage the source code for the IceHrm software.

Run the following command in your terminal to install Git:

sudo nix-env -iA nixos.git

Step 3: Clone the IceHrm Repository

Next, we need to clone the IceHrm repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:

sudo git clone https://github.com/gamonoid/icehrm.git /var/www/icehrm

Step 4: Install PHP

IceHrm is a PHP application, so we need to install PHP and some PHP extensions. Run the following command to install PHP and the required extensions:

sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.php74 nixpkgs.php74-mbstring nixpkgs.php74-mysql nixpkgs.php74-dom nixpkgs.php74-pdo_mysql

Step 5: Install Composer

We also need to install Composer, which is a dependency manager for PHP. Run the following command to install Composer:

sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.composer

Step 6: Configure IceHrm

Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we need to configure IceHrm. Copy the config_sample.php file to create a new configuration file:

sudo cp /var/www/icehrm/config_sample.php /var/www/icehrm/config.php

Next, we need to edit the configuration file using a text editor. Run the following command to open the configuration file in the nano editor:

sudo nano /var/www/icehrm/config.php

Update the configuration file with your database details, SMTP settings, and other required information. Save and close the file when you're done.

Step 7: Install IceHrm Dependencies

Now we need to install IceHrm's PHP dependencies using Composer. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

cd /var/www/icehrm
sudo composer install

Step 8: Set Permissions

Finally, we need to set the correct permissions on the IceHrm directory. Run the following command to set the correct permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/icehrm
