Section 2. Software Installation¶
Step 1. Installing Software Dependencies¶
- Ensure some essential system utilities are installed
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties
- Bot main software dependencies:
sudo apt-get install bless geany geany-plugin-lua mudlet ngircd xchat phpmyadmin lua-filesystem lua-sql-mysql lua-zip lua5.1 luajit gnome-nettool openssh-server
- There are a few flavors of MySQL you can install. I recommend MariaDB. Remember this password you will need it.
Oracle MySQL
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev
MariaDB
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client libmysqlclient-dev
Percona
sudo apt-get install percona-server-server-5.6
(optional) I recommend also installing xrdp and the desktop XFCE4 (you will need a desktop GUI)
sudo apt-get install xrdp xfce4
(optional) Some other tools that are nice to have:
sudo apt-get install mc, htop, putty, meld, znc
