Install Elefant CMS 
It is best to install Elefant CMS using Composer, so install Composer if it is not already installed by running the following commands: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">apt-get install curl
cd /opt
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer</pre>
Download the latest version of Elefant CMS using the following commands: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">cd /var/www
composer create-project elefant/cms --stability=dev your-domain.com</pre>
Do not forget to replace your-domain.com with your actual domain name. 
Alternatively, if you do not want to use Composer, you can always download the latest version at https://github.com/jbroadway/elefant/releases , then extract the Elefant CMS archive to the /var/www/html/your-domain.com/ directory on your server. 
 
Next, create a new MySQL database for Elefant CMS to use and assign a user to it with full permissions: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">mysql -u root -p
mysql> SET GLOBAL sql_mode='';
mysql> CREATE USER elefant;
mysql> CREATE DATABASE elefantdb;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON elefantdb.* TO 'elefant'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit</pre>
Do not forget to replace'your-password' with a strong password. 
 
Create a new virtual host directive in Apache. For example, create a new Apache configuration file named 'elefant.conf' on your virtual server: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">touch /etc/apache2/sites-available/elefant.conf</pre>
Edit the 'elefant.conf' configuration file: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/elefant.conf</pre>
and add the following lines to it: 
<pre style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.42857; margin-bottom: 10px; overflow: auto; padding: 9.5px; word-break: break-all; word-wrap: break-word;"><VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/your-domain.com/
ServerName your-domain.com
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
<Directory /var/www/html/your-domain.com/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost></pre>
Then, run the following command: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/elefant.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/elefant.conf</pre>
Or, use the a2ensite to enable the 'elefant.conf' configuration in Apache: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">sudo a2ensite elefant.conf</pre>
Set the proper file permissions for the Apache web server to write to the Elefant CMS document root ('/var/www/html/your-domain.com') directory: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/your-domain.com/</pre>
Enable the Apache2 rewrite module if it is not already done so: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">sudo a2enmod rewrite</pre>
Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">service apache2 restart</pre>
Open your favorite web browser, navigate to http://your-domain.com/install/ , start the installation process and follow the easy instructions: 
Click 'Next: License' , accept the license, check if server requirements are met then click 'Next:Database' and enter the following information: 
Driver: MySQL 
Server: localhost 
Port: 3306 
Database: elefantdb 
Username: elefant 
Password: *your-password* 
Click 'Connect & Create Schema', enter the site name and set the email address and password of the Elefant CMS administrative user. 
 
That is it. The Elefant CMS installation is now complete. 
 
 
Log in to the administration back-end of the Elefant CMS at http://your-domain.com/admin and start using it, write a blog post, upload files etc.
