- A non-root user with sudo privileges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Update the System<\/h2>\n
First, update your system’s package repository to the latest version by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y<\/p>\nOnce the repository is updated, restart the system to apply all the changes.<\/p>\n
Install LAMPP Server<\/h2>\n
Next, you will need to install Apache web server, PHP, and MariaDB to your system. You can install all of them by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0 php7.0-gd php7.0-mbstring php7.0-mysqlnd -y<\/p>\n
Once all the packages are installed, start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql<\/p>\nConfigure Database for CouchCMS<\/h2>\n
By default, MariaDB is not secure. So you will need to secure it first. You can secure it by using the mysql_secure_installation script.<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/p>\n
This script will set a root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove the test database and access to secure MariaDB as shown below:<\/p>\n
Set root password? [Y\/n] y \nRemove anonymous users? [Y\/n] y \nDisallow root login remotely? [Y\/n] y \nRemove test database and access to it? [Y\/n] y \nReload privilege tables now? [Y\/n] y \n<\/pre>\n
Once the MariaDB is secured, create a database for Couch CMS.<\/p>\n
First, log in to the MariaDB console with the following command:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
You will be prompt for a password, enter your root password and create a database for Couch CMS:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE couchdb CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;<\/p>\n
Next, create a user for OctoberCMS and grant all privileges to the Couch CMS with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON couchdb.* TO ‘couch’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;<\/p>\n
Next, flush the privileges with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;<\/p>\n
Finally, exit from the MariaDB console using the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> quit<\/p>\n
Once the database is configured, you can proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n
Install CouchCMS<\/h2>\n
First, you will need to download the latest version of the Couch CMS from GIT repository. You can download it with the following command:<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/github.com\/CouchCMS\/CouchCMS\/archive\/master.zip<\/p>\n
Once the download is completed, unzip the downloaded file using the following command:<\/p>\n
unzip master.zip<\/p>\n
Next, copy the extracted directory to the Apache root directory with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo cp -r CouchCMS-master\/couch \/var\/www\/html\/<\/p>\n
Next, give proper permission to the couch directory:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/couch
sudo chmod -R 777 \/var\/www\/html\/couch<\/p>\nNext, change the directory to the couch and rename config.example.php file to config.php:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/html\/couch
sudo cp config.example.php config.php<\/p>\nNext, open config.php file and add the database credentials:<\/p>\n
sudo nano config.php<\/p>\n
Change the file as shown below:<\/p>\n
\/\/ If necessary, define the full URL of your site including the subdomain, if any. \/\/ V.IMP: Don't forget the trailing slash! define( 'K_SITE_URL', 'http:\/\/192.168.0.102\/' ); \n \/\/ Name of the database define( 'K_DB_NAME', 'couchdb' ); \/\/ 5. \/\/ Database username define( 'K_DB_USER', 'couch' ); \/\/ 6. \/\/ Database password define( 'K_DB_PASSWORD', 'password' ); \/\/ 7. \/\/ MySQL hostname (it will usually be 'localhost') define( 'K_DB_HOST', 'localhost' ); \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file when you are finished, then enable rewrite module with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2enmod rewrite<\/p>\n
Finally, restart Apache service to apply all the changes:<\/h2>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\n

Couch CMS is now installed, it’s time to access Couch CMS<\/p>\n
