Installation

Supposing you are using apache, php and apache-php-module firstly clone openDCIM in a directory which is accessible by apache user (e.g. /srv/http/) and then configure apache to load required modules and have access to project directory (you can define virtual host too).

If you're gonna create Dockerized development environment, you should enable apache's fast-cgi to connect to php-fpm's container

Database (PDO, PDODRIVERS, DB.INC)

Install and Configure Mysql and PHP-Mysql

Follow the guide

Create Database and Configuration File

Create the database and user

	mysql -uroot -p -e "CREATE DATABASE dcim;CREATE USER 'dcim'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'dcim';GRANT ALL ON dcim.* TO 'dcim'@'localhost';"
