Previous notes
All you need to install eyeOS on this system is a working Internet connection. You will need to use a very few lines of Terminal, but they are cleanly explained in this tutorial, so no big technical knowledgments are required.
Step by step HOWTO
Step 1
Log in into your Debian account
Step 2
Open Synaptic, the Package Manager.
Step 3
Install the package php5, and all its dependencies. In this step, Debian will download and install all needed stuff for making eyeOS work, from the web server (Apache2) to PHP v5 and its connectors. You may look for php5 package trough the Search button.
Step 4
Wait for Synaptic to finish downloading and installing.
Step 5
Once installed, open the browser. You may open Epyphany, the Gnome's default browser in Debian Etch, or Iceweacel, the rebranded Firefox for Debian. We opt for Iceweasel.
Step 6
Navigate to http://www.eyeos.org/downloads and download the latest version of eyeOS.
Step 7
Open a Terminal. You can open it trough the Accessories menu.
Type su and when Debian asks for it, type your administrator password.
Move the package you have just download to var/www/apache2-default/. Normall, the package name will be something like eyeOS_1.x.y.z.tar.gz if you have downloaded the .tar.gz version or eyeOS_1.x.y.z.zip if you have downloaded the zip version.
To move the package, just type: mv Desktop/PACKAGENAME /var/www/apache2-default/
Step 8
Go to the directory where you have copied the package by typing cd /var/www/apache2-default
Uncompress the package. If you have downloaded the .tar.gz version, type tar -vxzf PACKAGENAME . If you have downloaded the .zip version, type unzip PACKAGENAME .
Finally, give full permissions to the new eyeOS folder so eyeOS can uncompress itself with the right permissions for the webserver to use it. To do this, type chmod -R 777 eyeOS/ .
Step 9
Open Iceweasel and navigate to http://localhost/apache2-default/eyeOS/install.php . The eyeOS installer will open. Type the asked stuff, and click Install eyeOS.
Step 10
We're done! Welcome to your new eyeOS server.
From now, you can access your eyeOS server from http://localhost/apache2-default/eyeOS/ from your local computer, or from http://YOUR_IP/apache2-default/eyeOS/ from your private network or even from Internet (if you have your router configured to redirect the port 80 to your computer.
