Need up-to-date installation resource

[Vejova 0]

Hey all,

 

What is the most up-to-date installation guide for making an online server? (running debian 10).

 

I have tried a number of them and keep running into issues with file names being outdated, etc.

 

Thanks

Follow the installation instructions provided in the README file and make sure to configure your firewall and to open ports with your hosting provider

I run into this problem when trying to install the pre-reqs:

 

 apt-get install gcc make libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev mysql-server git

Package mysql-server is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package libmysqlclient-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libmariadb-dev-compat libmariadb-dev

E: Package 'libmysqlclient-dev' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'mysql-server' has no installation candidate

this just means mysql is not available in the apt repos so you should install mariadb-server instead of mysql-server and libmariadb-dev (and optionally the compatibility layer libmariadb-dev-compat) instead of libmysqlclient-dev
