Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Installing Moodle on Local Server.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn how to download Moodle and install Moodle.
00:15 To install Moodle, you should have a system supporting:

Apache 2.x (or higher version),

00:23 MariaDB 5.5.30 (or any higher version) and PHP 5.4.4 +(or any higher version).
00:36 To record this tutorial, I will be using:

Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04,

00:44 Apache, MariaDB and PHP obtained through XAMPP 5.6.30
00:53 Moodle 3.3 and Firefox web browser.
00:59 You can use any web browser of your choice.
01:03 However, Internet Explorer should be avoided as it causes some display inconsistencies.
01:11 Please ensure that you have internet connectivity before you begin.
01:16 Also refer to the previous tutorials in this series.

And, ensure that the prerequisites are met and the database is setup properly.

01:27 We should have XAMPP running and We should have a database set up with username moodle-st.
01:37 First, let me go to the web browser and launch XAMPP.
01:42 In the address bar, type: http colon double slash 127 dot 0 dot 0 dot 1 and press Enter.
01:56 In the menu at the top right of the screen, click on PHPinfo.
02:02 Now, press Ctrl + F keys and search for DOCUMENT underscore ROOT.
02:10 It will be found in the table Apache Environment.
02:14 The value of DOCUMENT underscore ROOT will be either slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs or slash var slash www
02:30 In my machine, it is slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs.
02:37 Please make a note of this path. We are going to install Moodle here.
02:43 Let’s now start downloading Moodle.

Go to the official website of Moodle which is moodle.org

02:53 Click on the Downloads link in the top menu.

And then, click on the latest release button MOODLE 3.3+.

03:04 At the time of recording this tutorial, the latest stable Moodle version is 3.3. It could be different when you try.
03:15 Click on the Download zip button. This will start downloading Moodle on our machine.
03:22 I have already downloaded this file and it is in my Downloads folder. So I will skip this step.
03:30 Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys together.
03:36 On the terminal, I will change the directory to Downloads.
03:40 To do that, type the command: cd space Downloads and press Enter.
03:48 You will have to type the path where you downloaded Moodle on your system.
03:53 Once you are in that directory, type ls and press Enter to list the files therein.
04:01 Here is my Moodle installation file. It has the name moodle hyphen latest hyphen 33 dot zip.
04:11 If you had renamed it to some other name during download, then locate that file in your folder.
04:19 Next, we have to extract the contents of this zip file into the moodle folder.
04:26 At the command prompt, type: sudo space unzip space moodle hyphen latest hyphen 33 dot zip space hyphen d space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs slash. Now press Enter.
04:51 Let’s clear the terminal by pressing Ctrl + L.
04:56 Now type: cd space slash opt slash lampp slash htdocs and press Enter.
05:06 To list the files in this directory, type ls and press Enter.
05:12 You can see that a new folder named moodle has been created.
05:18 Let us give read, write and execute permissions to the owner and the group members of moodle folder.
05:27 So, type: sudo space chmod space 777 space moodle slash and press Enter.
05:39 Enter the administrative password, if prompted, and press Enter.
05:45 Now switch to the browser and type: http colon double slash 127.0.0.1 slash moodle or http colon double slash localhost slash moodle.
06:06 I have typed my localhost IP here.
06:10 This IP necessarily has to be the IP of the machine on which moodle is installed.

Please note that moodle is the folder into which we had extracted earlier.

06:23 Press Enter and you will see the Moodle installation page.
06:29 By default, we are in step number one, that is, Configuration. Please note: Moodle can be installed in multiple languages.
06:40 But we will limit ourselves to English language only.

So, select English here. Click on Next button below the Language dropdown.

06:52 Next is the Paths page. This is where the web address, moodle directory and data directory are defined.
07:02 Web address is the URL for us to access Moodle once installed.
07:08 This is the same URL that we entered above which is shown here.
07:14 Moodle directory is the folder where all the Moodle code is available.
07:20 Notice here, both Web address and Moodle directory are non-editable fields. These cannot be changed by us.
07:31 Next is the Data directory. This is the folder where all file content uploaded by teachers and students will be stored.
07:42 This folder needs to have read and write permission. So, the files can be stored here.
07:50 However, it should not be directly accessible on the web for security reasons.
07:57 So, it is to be kept outside of the installation folder.
08:03 moodledata inside the folder lampp is the default data directory which the installer tries to create.
08:11 However, it does not have the permission to create a folder here.

So, we have to create this folder manually and give it the required permissions.

08:23 Go to the terminal window. At the prompt, type: sudo space mkdir space slash opt slash lampp slash moodledata and press Enter.
08:41 Now, type: sudo space chmod space 777 space slash opt slash lampp slash moodledata and press Enter.

09:36 Then moodle-st as the database username.
09:41 And, moodle-st as my database password.

12:18 Please note that Moodle is a resource consuming software. Every step may take time to complete.
12:27 Please wait for the next page to load and do not close or refresh the page.
12:34 The next screen is for Front page settings. This is the page people will see when they visit our moodle site.
12:45 Enter Digital India LMS as the Full Site Name.
12:50 Enter Digital India LMS again as the Short name for site.

This is what will be visible as the name of the moodle site in the navigation bar.

13:03 Let us leave the Front Page Summary as blank, for now.

Select the timezone as Asia/Kolkata.

13:11 The next dropdown is Self Registration. If Self Registration is enabled, then new users can register themselves on their own.
13:23 Select Disable from the dropdown.

Next is the text box no-reply address.

13:31 The default value in this field is noreply@localhost.

Since this is not a valid email ID, change it to noreply@localhost.com.

13:46 This email ID will be shown as From address, when Moodle does not have any email ID to show.
13:55 For example, if I specify to keep my address as private, all mails sent on my behalf will have this email ID.

Lastly, click on Save Changes button.
