Clear Linux host OS install on bare metal
#########################################
Verify your system hardware is supported by |CLOSIA|. |CL|can run on all
Intel® 64bit processors which support UEFI\* and SSE\* v4.1 streaming SIMD\*
instructions. The following processor families can run |CL|:
* 2nd Generation, or later, Intel® Core™ processor family.
* Intel® Xeon® Processor E3
* Intel® Xeon® Processor E5
* Intel® Xeon® Processor E7
* Intel® Atom™ processor C2000 product family for servers -- Q3 2013 version
or later.
* Intel® Atom™ processor E3800 series -- Q4 2013 version or later.
Additionally, all the steps of this tutorial were tested using a NUC6i5SYH
Intel® NUC. Visit the `NUC6i5SYH product page`_ for detailed information.
If you are unsure whether or not your system is compatible with |CL|, you can
follow these instructions to find out.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
compatibility-check.rst
.. note::
Only a system running a Linux distribution can run the compatibility
check. There are two options:
* Install and run a Linux distribution directly on your system.
* Run a live image from a USB stick.
.. _bootable-usb:
Create a Clear Linux bootable USB drive
=======================================
This procedure was created on an Ubuntu 16.04-based system where the USB
drive is identified as :file:`/dev/sdb`. Make sure to map your correct USB
device for this process. We recommend you use an 8GB USB drive or larger.
Copying the |CL| image onto the USB drive formats the drive as a UEFI boot
device. Therefore, the contents of the USB drive will be destroyed during the
creation of the bootable USB drive. Make sure to save anything stored in the
drive before proceeding.
Download the Latest Clear Linux Image
-------------------------------------
Get the latest available |CL| installer image that you want to install
to your system by using your web browser and downloading the latest
:file:`clear-[release]-installer.img.xz` file from
https://download.clearlinux.org/image/ where `[release]` is the release
number of the current image that is available in this directory listing.
This example uses release 10980 so we will download the
:file:`clear-10980-installer.img.xz` image file and, optionally, the
:file:`clear-10980-installer.img.xz-SHA512SUMS` file needed to verify the
download.
To verify the download, follow these steps:
1. Go to the directory with the downloaded files.
2. To verify the integrity of the file, enter the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
sha512sum ./clear-10980-installer.img.xz>sha.tmp
diff clear-10980-installer.img.xz-SHA512SUMS sha.tmp
If the files differ, the diff command outputs the difference to the console,
otherwise, diff does not have any output to the console and returns you to
the command prompt.
3. Once the downloaded file is verified, delete the :file:`sha.tmp` file with
the following command:
.. code-block:: console
rm sha.tmp
Copy the Clear Linux image to a USB drive
-----------------------------------------
This example assumes that the USB drive is connected to your system as
:file:`/dev/sdb` and is not mounted.
To ensure the device is not mounted, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
umount /dev/sdb
To log in as root, simply enter:
.. code-block:: console
su
Once prompted, enter your root password.
To extract the downloaded image file and put it on the USB drive, enter the
following command:
.. code-block:: console
xzcat v clear-10980-installer.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdb
.. note::
These commands only work in the directory containing the downloaded file.
The decompression and copy of the image file takes some time to complete and
the v option for xzcat displays the progress.
Once the image has been decompressed and copied to the USB drive, you can
remove the USB drive from the system and move it to your target system.
Install Clear Linux on your target system
=========================================
The USB drive that was created in the previous step has been formatted as a
UEFI boot device. Our target system has a hard drive installed containing a
single primary partition. The target system needs a wired Internet connection
with DHCP.
Follow these steps to install |CL| on the target system:
1. Insert the USB drive into an available USB slot.
2. Power on the system.
3. Open the system BIOS setup menu, normally by pressing the F2 key. Your
BIOS setup menu entry point may vary.
4. In the setup menu, enable the UEFI boot and set the USB drive as the first
option in the device boot order.
5. Save these settings and exit.
6. Reboot the target system and the |CL| Installer menu will start.
.. note::
Use the arrow keys, space bar, and enter key to navigate the menu of the
|CL| Installer.
7. In this tutorial, we will enable telemetrics and select the `Automatic`
installation type.
The primary drive to install |CL| onto is :file:`/dev/sdb` since the
target system identifies the USB drive as :file:`/dev/sda`.
8. Follow the instructions to begin the installation.
The installation is completed in the following stages:
.. code-block:: console
Reading configuration
Validating configuration
Creating partitions
Creating file systems
Setting up mount points
Starting swupd. May take several minutes
Cleaning up
Successful installation
Once complete, an `<OK>` prompt appears in the dialog box, letting you know
that you have successfully installed |CL| onto your system.
9. Press enter once the <OK> prompt appears. The following dialog box takes
its place:
.. code-block:: console
Successful installation, the system will be rebooted
<OK>
10. Press enter, remove the USB drive from the system, and the system will
reboot running |CL|.
Clear Linux initial setup after installation
============================================
Your newly installed |CL| boots on your target system and presents a full
screen console requesting `Login:`. |CL| is designed to install with minimal
software overhead. Therefore, some housekeeping and package installations
must occur before you have a full-featured |CL| operating system.
Set up your root and user accounts
----------------------------------
1. At the initial login prompt, enter: root
2. Once you are prompted, enter a new password
3. Re-enter the password to verify it.
You have set your root password and are logged in with root privileges.
The next step is to create a new user and set a password for
that user:
.. code-block:: console
useradd <userid>
passwd <userid>
Replace <userid> with the name of the user account you want to create.
Remain logged in as the root user because there are some other things to do
before we can fully enable your new user space.
Software installation and updates
---------------------------------
|CL| has a unique application and architecture to add and update applications
and to perform system updates called software update utility or `swupd`.
Software applications are installed as bundles using the command
:command:`bundle-add`.
Next, we should install some useful applications using the software update
utility. The `os-clr-on-clr` bundle installs the vast majority of
applications useful to a system administrator or a developer. The bundle
contains other bundles such as `sysadmin-basic`, `editors`, `c-basic`, `dev-
utils-dev`, and other useful packages.
.. code-block:: console
swupd bundle-add os-clr-on-clr
.. note::
The image we installed may not be the latest version of |CL| available on
the server. However, whenever the command
:command:`swupd bundle-add <bundle>` runs, the OS is updated to the latest
available version. Our website provides more `information about swupd`_.
We provide the full list of bundles and packages installed with the
`os-clr-on-clr`_ bundle. Additionally, we have listed
`all Clear Linux bundles`_, active or deprecated. Click any bundle on the
list to view the manifest of the bundle.
Finish setting up your new user
-------------------------------
Before logging off as root and logging into your new user account, we must
enable the :command:`sudo` command for your new `<userid>`.
To be able to execute all applications with root privileges, we must add the
`<userid>` to the `wheel group`_ and enable the wheel group in the
:file:`/etc/sudoers` file.
1. To add `<userid>` to the wheel group, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
usermod -G wheel -a <userid>
2. To open the :file:`/etc/sudoers` file, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
vi /etc/sudoers
.. note::
Normally, we would use the visudo script to edit the :file:`/etc/sudoers`
file to safely modify the contents of the file. In this instance, the file
does not exist yet. Therefore, we create the initial instance of the file.
3. In the vi\* editor window, press the :kbd:`o` to open a new line.
4. Add the following line to the file:
.. code-block:: console
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
5. To save the changes to the file and exit vi, press the :kbd:`ESC` key
followed by the :kbd:`:` and :kbd:`x` keys.
.. important::
Creating the file logged as the root user keeps the permissions of the
file with the root user.
Now, we can log out of root and into our new <userid>.
To log off as root, enter :command:`exit`.
The command should bring you back to the `Login:` prompt.
Enter your new `<userid>` and the password you created earlier.
You should now be in the home directory of `<userid>`. The bundle
`os-clr-on-clr`_ contains the majority of applications that a developer or
system administrator would want but it does not include a graphical user
interface. The `os-utils-gui` bundle includes the XFCE graphical user
interface.
To test the :command:`sudo` command and ensure we set it up correctly, we can
install the XFCE :abbr:`GUI (graphical user interface)`.
To install XFCE using swupd, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd bundle-add os-utils-gui
To start xfce, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
startx
**Congratulations!**
You have successfully installed |CL| on a bare metal system.
Additionally, you performed the following basic setup for your system:
* Setup of a root user.
* Updated the OS to its most current version using `swupd`.
* Installed the most common applications for system administrators and
developers using bundles.
* Setup of a new user.
* Setup of `sudo` privileges for that new user.
* Installed a GUI using those `sudo` privileges.
Next steps
==========
With your system now running |CL| many paths are open for you.
We have created a :ref:`tutorial <web-server-install>` for setting up your
|CL| system as a :abbr:`LAMP (Linux, Apache MySQL, PHP)` web sever.
Once you have setup your system as a web server, we recommend you try out our
:ref:`tutorial on installing WordPress <wp-install>` to host your own
CMS-based website on your |CL| system.

.. _web-server-install:
Creating a Clear Linux based web server
#######################################
Prerequisites
=============
In order to create a web server using |CL| as the host OS your host
system must be running |CL|. Therefore, this tutorial assumes you have
already gone through the steps in :ref:`bare-metal-install`.
Before installing any new packages, update the |CL| OS with the
console command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd update
Creating a LAMP Server
======================
A server with Linux\*, Apache\*, MySQL\*, and PHP\* installed is known as a
LAMP server, allows you to set up a fully functional web server, and enables
you to host your own website. This tutorial walks you through the process of
creating a LAMP server by installing and configuring each component. In place
of MySQL, we will be installing MariaDB which is a drop- in replacement for
MySQL. Once the LAMP server component installations are complete, we add
phpMyAdmin to manage your MariaDB databases.
Installing Apache
=================
Apache is an open source HTTP web server application. It can run on several
operating systems, including |CL|. Alternatively, you could install
NGINX but this tutorial focuses on implementing an Apache server.
Go to https://httpd.apache.org/ to learn more about it.
Install the web-server-basic bundle
-----------------------------------
The web-server-basic bundle contains the packages needed to install the
Apache software bundle on |CL|.
To install the bundle, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd bundle-add web-server-basic
To start the Apache service, enter the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
To verify that the Apache server application is running, go to your web
browser and navigate to: http://localhost
If the service is running you will see the message “It works!” on your
browser as shown in figure 1.
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-1.png
:alt: It works!
:scale: 50%
Confirmation the Apache service is running.
The :file:`index.html` file is located in the :file:`/usr/share/httpd/htdocs`
directory of your host system.
Installing PHP
==============
With Apache installed, you can display static web pages. However, enabling
PHP allows dynamic webpages to be generated and displayed. To add this
functionality to your web server we need to install PHP5 on your system.
To get the php components, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic
To enable PHP, enter the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm.service
sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
After restarting the Apache service, we can test our PHP installation.
1. Create a file named :file:`phpinfo.php` in the
:file:`/usr/share/httpd/htdocs/` directory using your favorite editor.
2. Add the following line to the file:
.. code-block:: php
<?PHP phpinfo() ?>
3. Go to http://localhost/phpinfo.php using your browser.
The PHP information screen should appear, see figure 2:
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-2.png
:alt: PHP information screen
:width: 600
The PHP information screen.
If the PHP information screen is displayed, you have successfully installed
the PHP components and are now ready to add your database application to
complete your LAMP server implementation.
Installing MariaDB
==================
Most web applications require a database to store their content. Therefore,
we must install MariaDB to fulfill this need. MariaDB is a drop-in
replacement for MySQL and is available in the database-basic |CL|
bundle.
To install the database-basic bundle, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd bundle-add database-basic
Once MariaDB is installed, we need to start the service and check its status.
To start MariaDB, enter the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
To check the status of MariaDB, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo systemctl status mariadb
With the MariaDB service running, we can perform some basic security
hardening.
To add a basic layer of security, enter the following command and answer the
questions presented:
.. code-block:: console
mysql_secure_installation
.. note:: We have included the answers after each question.
.. code-block:: console
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
In order to secure the MariaDB, we need the current password for the root
user. For a newly installed MariaDB without a set root password, the
password is blank. Just press enter to continue.
.. code-block:: console
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Set root password? [Y/n]
.. _set-password:
Setting the root password ensures nobody can log into the MariaDB
as a root user without the proper authorization.
To set a root password, type 'y'.
.. code-block:: console
New password:
Type the desired password for the root user.
.. code-block:: console
Re-enter new password:
Re-type the desired password for the root user.
.. code-block:: console
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user allowing anyone to
log into MariaDB without a user account. This anonymous user is intended only
for testing and for a smoother the installation.
To remove the anonymous user and make your database more secure, type 'y'.
.. code-block:: console
... Success!
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n]
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from the 'localhost'.
This ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
To block any remote root login, type 'y'.
.. code-block:: console
... Success!
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n]
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' which anyone can
access. This database is also intended only for testing and should be
removed.
To remove the test database, type 'y'.
.. code-block:: console
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]
Reloading the privilege tables ensures all changes made so far take effect
immediately.
To reload the privilege tables, type 'y'.
.. code-block:: console
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!
The MariaDB installation is complete and we can now install phpMyAdmin to
manage the databases.
Installing phpMyAdmin
=====================
The web-based tool phpMyAdmin is a straight-forward way to manage MySQL or
MariaDB databases. Visit https://www.phpmyadmin.net for the complete
discussion regarding phpMyAdmin, its documentation, the latest downloads, and
other useful information.
This tutorial uses the latest English version of phpMyAdmin to install it on
our |CL| host system.
1. Download the :file:`phpMyAdmin-<version>-english.tar.gz` file to your
:file:`~/Downloads` directory. Here, <version> refers to the current
version available at https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads.
.. note:: This example downloads and uses version 4.6.4 so we will be
downloading the file
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/phpMyAdmin-4.6.4-english.tar.gz into
our Downloads directory.
2. Once the file has been successfully downloaded and verified, uncompress
the file and directories into the apache web server document root
directory. Use the following commands:
.. code-block:: console
cd /usr/share/httpd/htdocs
sudo tar xzvf ~/Downloads/phpMyAdmin-4.6.4-english.tar.gz
3. To keep things simple, rename the newly created
:file:`phpMyAdmin-4.6.4-english` directory to :file:`phpMyAdmin` with the
following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo mv phpMyAdmin-4.6.4-english phpMyAdmin
Using phpMyAdmin to Manage Databases
------------------------------------
If you have successfully installed all of the components for your LAMP
server, you should be able to point your browser to
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin and see the screen shown in figure 3 in your
browser window.
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-3.png
:alt: phpMyAdmin login page
:width: 600
The `phpMyAdmin` login page after successful installation.
Log in with your root userid and the password you set up when you ran the
:ref:`mysql_secure_installation command <set-password>`. Enter your
credentials and select :guilabel:`Go` to log in:
Once logged in the main phpMyAdmin page is displayed as shown on figure 4:
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-4.png
:alt: phpMyAdmin dashboard
:width: 600
The `phpMyAdmin` dashboard after successful login.
Our next step is to set up our first database. For example, we can call
our new database WordPress.
1. Select the :guilabel:`Databases` tab in the phpMyAdmin main screen to go
to the Databases page. Figure 5 shows the databases tab.
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-5.png
:alt: Databases tab
:width: 600
The `Databases` tab of `phpMyAdmin`.
2. Enter 'Wordpress'. in the text field below the :guilabel:`Create database`
label.
3. Pick the :guilabel:`utf8_unicode_ci` option from the collation drop-down
menu beside the text field.
4. Press the :guilabel:`Create` button.
Once the database is created, we need to set up the user permissions.
1. Select the WordPress database in the left panel.
2. Select the :guilabel:`Privileges` tab. Figure 6 shows the contents of the
tab.
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-6.png
:alt: Privileges tab
:width: 600
The `Privileges` tab of `phpMyAdmin`
3. Click on :guilabel:`Add user account`
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-7.png
:alt: User accounts tab
:width: 600
The `User accounts` tab showing all the required information entered
in the next steps.
4. Enter the following information in the corresponding fields:
User name: wordpressuser
Password: wp-example
Re-type: wp-example
5. In the Database for user account section, select the option
:guilabel:`Grant all privileges on database “WordPress”.`
6. At the bottom of the page and select :guilabel:`Go`.
If successful, you should see the screen shown in figure 8:
.. figure:: figures/web-server-install-8.png
:alt: User added successfully
:width: 600
The user **wordpressuser** was added successfully.
Congratulations!
You have now created a fully functional LAMP server along with a WordPress-
ready database using |CL|.
As a next step, you could :ref:`create a WordPress server <wp-install>`
and present it to the world.

Creating a Clear Linux WordPress* server
########################################
Prerequisites
=============
This tutorial assumes you have already
:ref:`installed Clear Linux on a bare metal system <bare-metal-install>`
and that you have :ref:`set up a LAMP web server <web-server-install>`.
Additionally, all the steps on this tutorial were tested using a NUC6i5SYH
Intel® NUC. Visit the `NUC6i5SYH product page`_ for detailed information.
Before installing any new packages, update the |CL| OS with the
console command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo swupd update
Creating a WordPress server
===========================
This tutorial walks you through the process of installing the WordPress
components on your |CL| LAMP server. At the end of the
:ref:`web server tutorial <web-server-install>`, we created the initial
WordPress MySQL database `WordPress` using phpMyAdmin\* and MariaDB\*.
With the LAMP server up and running, we can add the WordPress components
needed to host a WordPress website on your host system.
Throughout this tutorial we will reference your website name as
<your_website>. There are numerous articles available on-line regarding how
to name your website and acquire the necessary certificates. Those tasks are
beyond the scope of this tutorial.
There are also several actions you can take to harden your website from
attacks. The security of your website and the data it contains are complex
and ever-evolving tasks. They should be at the top of your to do list if you
plan to expose your website to the outside world. This tutorial does not
address security measures that you can take to harden your site but we
strongly encourage you to look into it.
Installing WordPress
--------------------
The folks at WordPress have created a `step-by-step guide`_ to install
WordPress quickly and easily. We are following this procedure very closely.
We are setting up a WordPress blog which can be accessed at:
http://<your_website>/blog
To accomplish this setup, we must put the WordPress components in the
:file:`/usr/share/httpd/htdocs/blog` directory.
Let us get started:
1. To move to the top-level of the websites root directory, enter the
following command:
.. code-block:: console
cd /usr/share/httpd/htdocs
2. To download the latest version of WordPress, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo curl -O https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
3. To extract the all the files and directories from the downloaded file,
enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo tar xzvf latest.tar.gz
4. To rename the top-level WordPress directory to “blog”, enter the following
command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo mv wordpress blog
5. To remove the downloaded tar file, enter the following command:
.. code-block:: console
sudo rm latest.tar.gz
Setting up WordPress
--------------------
With the WordPress components loaded into the
:file:`/usr/share/httpd/htdocs/blog` directory, we can set everything up.
Instead of editing the :file:`wp_config.php` file manually, we are using the
web-based configuration tool to setup the database name and user. We created
both in the :ref:`web server tutorial <web-server-install>`. In your browser,
go to: http://<your_website>/blog/wp-admin/install.php.
Your screen should look like figure 1:
