It's always recommended that you [backup your installation](05_Backup.md) before updating + +Please note: Commands need to be run as an administrator; either perform the following from a sudo shell (`sudo -s`) or use an administrator account. + +## Part 1: Setting up and configuring the LAMP stack +Begin by installing Apache, and enable Apache modules needed for FreshRSS +``` +apt install apache2 +a2enmod headers expires rewrite ssl +``` + +Then, you have to configure Apache. You can create a file in `/etc/apache2/sites-available`, based on [our example configuration file](10_ServerConfig.md). Once you're done, create a symbolic link from this file to the `sites-enabled` folder: + +``` +ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/freshrss.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/freshrss.conf +``` + +Next, install PHP and the necessary modules +``` +apt install php php-curl php-gmp php-intl php-mbstring php-sqlite3 php-xml php-zip +``` + +Install the PHP module for Apache +``` +apt install libapache2-mod-php +``` + +Next, we'll need to install and configure MySQL. Install MySQL components like so: +``` +sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client php-mysql +``` + +MySQL must now be started: +``` +service mysql-server start +``` + +We'll need to configure MySQL. +**Note:** As you've just installed mysql, there will be no root password; simply hit enter on the first step +``` +mysql_secure_installation +``` + +And restart it +``` +service mysql-server restart +``` + +Finally, restart MySQL and the web server +``` + +service apache2 restart +``` + +## Part 2: Installing FreshRSS + +Begin by installing git, if you don't already have it installed. +``` +apt install git +``` + +Next, change to the install directory and download FreshRSS using git +``` +cd /usr/share/ +git clone https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS.git +``` + +Change to the new FreshRSS directory, and set the permissions so that your Web server can access the files +``` +cd FreshRSS +chown -R :www-data . +sudo chmod -R g+r . +``` +We'll also need to allow the data folder to be written to, like so: +``` +chmod -R g+w ./data/ +``` + +Optional: If you would like to allow updates from the Web interface, set write permissions +``` +chmod -R g+w . +``` + +Finally, symlink the public folder to the root of your web directory +``` +ln -s /usr/share/FreshRSS/p /var/www/html/ +``` + +## Part 3: Creating a Database for FreshRSS + +Start a MySQL session. running this command will ask you for the MySQL password you set earler, and then put you into a prompt that should look like `MariaDB [(none)]>` +``` +mysql -u root -p +``` + +From the MySQL prompt (`MariaDB [(none)]>`), run the following commands, substituting `<username>`, `<password>`, and `<database_name>` for real values. +``` +CREATE USER '<username>'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>'; +CREATE DATABASE `databaseName`; +GRANT ALL privileges ON `databaseName`.* TO 'userName'@localhost; +FLUSH PRIVILEGES; +QUIT; +``` + +A brief explanation of the previous command block: +* You first create a database user for FreshRSS to use. +* Then you create a database for FreshRSS to store data in. +* You grant permissions for the user you created to read, write, and modify the database. +* Flushing privileges reloads the permissions, which makes the previous command take effect. + +## Part 4: Finishing the Installation + +You can now finish the installation from a web browser by navigating to to `http://<your_server>/p` and following the graphical prompts. +Alternatively, you can finish the installation using [the cli](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/tree/master/cli) |
