<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFirst, log in to your Ubuntu 22.04 server through SSH as the root user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou would need to substitute the \u2018IP_Address\u2018 and \u2018Port_number\u2018 with your server\u2019s respective IP address and SSH port number. Additionally, replace \u2018root\u2019 with the username of the system user with sudo privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can check whether you have the proper Ubuntu version installed on your server with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# lsb_release -a<\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou should get this output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy<\/pre>\n\n\n\nBefore starting, you have to make sure that all Ubuntu OS packages installed on the server are up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# apt update -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 2. Install Apache and PHP<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCakePHP supports Apache, nginx and even Microsoft IIS. Apache is regarded as the most extensively utilized and user-friendly web server software. It is fast, secure, reliable, and can be effortlessly tailored according to your requirements. In this step, we are going to install Apache and PHP with its extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php-{mysql,mbstring,intl,xml}<\/pre>\n\n\n\nOn the Ubuntu system, Apache will be up and running upon installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 3. Install Composer<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCakePHP utilizes Composer, a tool for managing dependencies, as the officially endorsed approach for installation. Composer is not available on Ubuntu 22.04 default repository. Let’s execute the following command below to download the Composer installer using the wget command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# wget -O composer-setup.php https:\/\/getcomposer.org\/installer<\/pre>\n\n\n\nOnce downloaded, we need to execute the following command to install and setup composer on our Ubuntu machine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# php composer-setup.php --install-dir=\/usr\/local\/bin --filename=composer<\/pre>\n\n\n\nVerify the installation and check the installed build version of Composer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# composer -V<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThe command above will return an output like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Composer version 2.5.8 2023-06-09 17:13:21<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
