Install on Ubuntu 16.04

These instructions will walk you through setting up LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql
PHP) software and install OpenCATS on a Ubuntu 16.04 machine. These
instructions will work with a VPS, or a home/office machine.

Note

If this is a production machine, that is accessible by people outside your

network, this walk-through doesn’t address additional server security. You
would definitely want to make sure things are secured correctly.

Warning

If you are running a different version of Ubuntu (other than 16.04) the default
software versions will be different, which means the install process will be
different.
