Installation - Linux

Required package

Update the Ubuntu repository and install common packages:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install curl git unzip mbstring

Install PHP7.4

It’s crucial to install 7.4, not 8.x

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php  
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install php7.4
$ sudo apt-get install php7.4-fpm php7.4-pgsql php7.4-curl php7.4-cli php7.4-mbstring

Make sure that curl, pgsql and pdo_pgsql extensions are installed

$ php -m

In case of any problems, try to remove php-common and repeat the installation of modules

$ sudo apt-get --purge remove php-common

$ sudo php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
$ sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Install postgres

$ sudo apt-get install postgres

Configuring the database

$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "create database webclient;"
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "create user webclient;"
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "alter user webclient with encrypted password 'webclient';"
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "grant all privileges on database webclient to webclient;"

Insert or change the location section of the ngnix.conf file

location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
  }

Restart ngnix

$ sudo systemctl restart nginx
