# Nextcloud installation

*All commands assume being logged in as root user on the server unless noted otherwise.*  

Installing required packages  
```bash
apt install mlocate apache2 libapache2-mod-php mariadb-client mariadb-server wget unzip bzip2 curl php php-common php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-mysql php-xml php-zip php-intl php-apcu php-redis php-http-request  
```

## Set up the database  
Just press enter when asked for a root password this time, as it has not yet been set.  
```bash
mysql -u root -p  
```

The command prompt should have changed to something similar to `MariaDB [(none)]>`  

```mysql
CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;  
```

```mysql
GRANT ALL ON nextcloud.* TO 'nextcloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';  
```

```mysql
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;  
```

Exit the MariaDB prompt.  
```mysql
\q  
```

## Nextcloud installation

```bash

```

```bash
unzip nextcloud-<version>  
```

```

Create the apache2 site configuration for Nextcloud.
