This guide assumes you have git installed. If not do sudo apt-get install git.

Terminal installation:

Start a terminal or SSH (ssh -l username hostname) or Telnet into Ubuntu/XBMCLive (You can simply press CTRL+F2 and login with your user details)

  1. Install Apache and php5 and php5-curl
    sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-curl

  2. Clone the Git Repository to the required directory (XBMCLive = /var/www)
    sudo git clone git://github.com/MediaFrontPage/mediafrontpage.git /var/www/mediafrontpage

  3. Ensure file permissions allow web server to write to the folder (eg. use chown)
    sudo chown -R www-data:your_username /var/www/mediafrontpage

  4. In case you need write-access with your own user too for editing files or git pulls (retrieving updates) enter this:
    sudo chmod -R 774 /var/www/mediafrontpage

  5. To update Mediafrontpage make sure you did step 4 and:
    cd /var/www/mediafrontpage && git pull

Optional
Create a cache for Sickbeard's images to help speed things up

  • Create a folder named sbpcache
    sudo mkdir /var/www/sbpcache
  • Give MediaFrontPage write permissions to the Cache folder
    sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/sbpcache
  1. Go to http://hostname/mediafrontpage or http://ipadress/mediafrontpage in your favourite browser - MFP prefers Google Chrome and you should redirected to the Settings page.
