# Linux Step-By-Step
This short howto describes step-by-step how to install the MMDVMHost-Dashboard on a Raspberry Pi (or similar) system using a Debian Linux distribution like Raspbian.
##Installation Steps
1. Update your system:
>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
2. Install a lightweight webserver:
>sudo apt-get install lighttpd
3. Create a group for the webserver and add yourself to it:
>sudo groupadd www-data
>sudo usermod -G www-data -a pi
4. Set permissions so you and the webserver have full access to the files:
If you use a current Raspbian Jessie, use following commands:
>sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
>sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html
If you use a Raspian Wheezy use:
>sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
>sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www
5. Install PHP5 and enable the required modules:
>sudo apt-get install php5-common php5-cgi php5
>sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
>sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
>sudo service lighttpd force-reload
6. To install the dashboard you should use git for easy updates:
>sudo apt-get install git
7. Now you can clone the dashboard into your home directory:
>cd ~
>git clone https://github.com/dg9vh/MMDVMHost-Dashboard.git
8. Next, you need to copy the files into the webroot so they can be served by lighttpd:
If you are using Raspbian Jessie, run:
>sudo cp -R /home/pi/MMDVMHost-Dashboard/* /var/www/html/
If you are using Raspbian Wheezy, run:
>sudo cp -R /home/pi/MMDVMHost-Dashboard/* /var/www/
9. To make sure the dashboard is served instead of the default "index.html", cd into the webroot /var/www/html respectively /var/www and remove that file:
>sudo rm index.html
10. Finally, you need to configure the dashboard by pointing your browser to http://IP-OF-YOUR-HOTSPOT/setup.php . This will create /var/www/html/config/config.php respectively /var/www/config/config.php which contains your custom settings.
Now the dashboard should be reachable via http://IP-OF-YOUR-HOTSPOT/
##Configuration Of Dashboard
When configuring the dashboard, make sure to set the correct paths for logs etc. If they are wrong, no last-heard or similar information will be shown on the dashboard!
