to your Ubuntu 16.04 VPS via SSH as user root<\/p>\n<pre>ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/pre>\n<p>Make sure that all OS packages are up to date by running the following command-line

Apache web server:<\/p>\n<pre># sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/pre>\n<p>Open your web browser and type in the following URL to access the Matomo web interface:<\/p>\n<pre>http:\/\/your-domain.com\/matomo<\/pre>\n<p>From here you can finish the setup by following the steps below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Matomo will check to make sure that your server meets the Matomo requirements. If everything is OK, click Next<\/li>\n<li>Enter localhost or 127.0.0.1 as database server, then enter a database username and password, database name, and once you have filled in the form, click Next<\/li>\n<li>You should receive a message: &#8216;Tables created with success!&#8217;. Click on the Next button once again<\/li>\n<li>Enter a username, password and email address for the administrator user account<\/li>\n<li>On the next page, set up the Website name and URL you want to track.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s it, now you should have successfully installed Matomo on your server. You need to add the JavaScript tracking code on every page of your website before the closing tag so you can track and analyze the websites. You can now log in to the Matomo administration back-end and add more websites, check the stats etc.<\/p>\n<p>Since millions of websites today are powered by WordPress, there is a very useful plugin which will help you to add all the website stats at your Matomo dashboard. You can get the plugin at https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-piwik\/. There are much more ways to integrate Matomo with other popular applications. You can check the list of all available Matomo plugins and extensions <a href=\"https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/plugins\/faq_20\/#faq_20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If your website is a medium or high-traffic website, it is a good idea to\u00a0set up a cron job so that Matomo calculates the reports periodically. Create a new file matomo-archive in the \/etc\/cron.d\/ directory:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/etc\/cron.d\/matomo-archive<\/pre>\n<p>add the following line:<\/p>\n<p>MAILTO=&#8221;admin@your-domain.com&#8221; 5 * * * * www-data \/usr\/bin\/php \/var\/www\/matomo\/console core:archive &#8211;url=http:\/\/your-domain.com\/matomo\/ &gt; \/var\/log\/apache2\/matomo-archive.log<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-27060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/install-matomo-on-ubuntu-16.04.jpg\" alt=\"install matomo on ubuntu 16.04\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Of course, you don\u2019t have to install and configure Matomo on Ubuntu 16.04, if you use one of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting.html\">Ubuntu Hosting<\/a> solutions, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to install and configure Matomo on Ubuntu 16.04 for you.
