Unzip files

  1. Navigate to the directory where the WritebackExtreme installation files have been uploaded. cd /path/to/upload/folder

  2. Unzip the downloaded package. unzip writebackextreme-linux-amd64.zip

Ensure you are in the correct upload folder location before proceeding with the unzip operation.

Run Installation Script

  1. Navigate to the extracted directory: cd /path/to/unzipped/folder

  2. Execute the installation script. This script will set up the latest PHP 8.2 version on your system and update the existing PHP installation if needed.

# Ensure to run install.sh with root/sudo permissions
sudo ./install.sh

The application will be installed at the following location: /usr/local/share/writebackextreme/ The full path for binary: /usr/local/share/writebackextreme/writebackextreme-amd64

  1. Follow any on-screen prompts as needed. Upon successful installation, the application will automatically initiate its installation/upgrade process. The installation completion prompt typically appears as follows:

  2. The distinction between “Network” and “Local” lies in the accessibility of the provided IP/URL. When set to “Network,” the application can be accessed from within the network, while “Local” restricts access to the local machine only.

  3. Open the appropriate “Network” URL in a web browser to commence the application installation process. Once the installation and configuration procedures are concluded, it is strongly advised to close the installation/configuration interface.

When you require another port for the configuration you can run the installer manually with a port flag with this command:

sudo /usr/local/share/writebackextreme/writebackextreme-amd64 installer --port=8080
