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.
08:57	Go back to the browser now and click on Next button.
09:02	After this comes the database configuration page. Select MariaDB from the dropdown and click on the Next button.
09:13	Enter localhost as the Database Host Name.
09:18	Now, we have to enter the database name, username and password. These are the ones we created earlier in phpMyAdmin.
09:30	I will enter moodle-st as the database name.
09:36	Then moodle-st as the database username.
09:41	And, moodle-st as my database password.
09:46	Leave the Table Prefix and the other fields as they are and click on Next.
09:54	We can see a terms and conditions page.
09:59	This is the step where you need to read the license agreement and agree to the same. Read the text and then click on Continue.
10:10	We can see the Server Checks page next. Scroll down to see the message Your server environment meets all minimum requirements.
10:23	You may get other errors as shown: Refer to the Additional reading material link of this tutorial for the solution.
10:33	Click on Continue.
10:36	This step may take some time depending on your internet speed. You may get an error message Site is being upgraded, please retry later if you refresh the page.
10:50	In that case, please refresh after some time.
10:54	Click Continue when you get a success message for the installation.
11:00	The next page is for administrator configuration.
11:05	Enter the username that you want for the Moodle Administrative page. I will enter the username as admin.
11:15	Now enter a password for the Moodle Administrator. The password here must follow these rules as shown here.
11:26	To enter the password, click on Click to enter text link.
11:32	I will enter Spokentutorial1@ as my admin password. Click on Unmask icon to reveal the password.
11:43	Note down the username and password that you have created for future use.
11:49	Email address is a mandatory field. I will enter priyankaspokentutorial@gmail.com here.
11:59	In Select a country drop-down, select India. Select the timezone as Asia/Kolkata.
12:08	We will leave rest of the fields with their default values.
12:13	Scroll down and click on Update Profile button.
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.
14:10	We are now ready to use Moodle. You can see the front page of the new site here.
14:17	With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
