# Installation on Debian/Ubuntu
|
||
|
||
This tutorial will give you step-by-step commands to install the latest stable release of FreshRSS with Apache and MySQL using git. 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
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/freshrss.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/freshrss.conf
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next, install PHP and the necessary modules
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
apt install php php-curl php-gmp php-intl php-mbstring php-sqlite3 php-xml php-zip
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Install the PHP module for Apache
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
apt install libapache2-mod-php
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next, we’ll need to install and configure MySQL. Install MySQL components like so:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client php-mysql
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
MySQL must now be started:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
mysql_secure_installation
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And restart it
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
service mysql-server restart
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, restart MySQL and the web server
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
service apache2 restart
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Part 2: Installing FreshRSS
|
||
|
||
Begin by installing git, if you don’t already have it installed.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
apt install git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next, change to the install directory and download FreshRSS using git
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
cd FreshRSS
|
||
sudo cli/access-permissions.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Optional: If you would like to allow updates from the Web interface, set write permissions (reduces slightly the security)
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Debian
|
||
chown www-data:www-data -R .
|
||
# Alpine
|
||
chown apache:www-data -R .
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, symlink the public folder to your FreshRSS directory
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
[ ! -e "/var/www/html/FreshRSS" ] && ln -s /usr/share/FreshRSS/p /var/www/html/FreshRSS || echo "/var/www/html/FreshRSS already exists"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Part 3: Creating a Database for FreshRSS
|
||
|
||
Start a MySQL session. running this command will ask you for the MySQL password you set earlier, and then put you into a prompt that should look like `MariaDB [(none)]>`
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
mysql -u root -p
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
From the MySQL prompt (`MariaDB [(none)]>`), run the following commands, substituting `<username>`, `<password>`, and `<database_name>` for real values.
|
||
|
||
```sql
|
||
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>/` and following the graphical prompts.
|
||
Alternatively, you can finish the installation using [the cli](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/tree/edge/cli)
