Create a Database for Nextcloud --- Nextcloud uses a MariaDB database as a database backend so you will need to create a database and user in MariaDB. First, connect to the MariaDB shell with the following command: <pre> mysql </pre> Once you are connected to the MariaDB, create a database and user with the following command: <pre> CREATE DATABASE nextcloud; CREATE USER 'nextcloud'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; </pre> Next, grant all the privileges to the Nextcloud database with the following command: <pre> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nextcloud.* TO 'nextcloud'@'localhost'; </pre> Next, flush the privileges and exit from the MariaDB with the following command: <pre> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; QUIT; </pre> h2. Download Nextcloud --- At the time of writing the article, the latest version of Nextcloud is 24.0.1. You can download it with the following command: <pre> wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-24.0.1.zip </pre> Once the download is completed, unzip the downloaded file with the following command: <pre> unzip nextcloud-24.0.1.zip </pre> Next, move the extracted directory to the Apache web root with the following command: <pre> mv nextcloud /var/www/html/ </pre> Next, change the ownership and permission of the Nextcloud directory using the following command: <pre> chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/nextcloud chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/nextcloud </pre> h2.
