Set up MySQL
You need to create a database, and a DreamFactory user in your MySQL instance. On a fresh install, this is quite simple:
ubuntu@ip-10-164-45-80:~$ mysql -u root
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 36

ByeDSP Installation from Github
To prepare for the DreamFactory installation from Github, create the DreamFactory directory on your server with the appropriate rights.
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/dreamfactory/platform
$ sudo chmod 777 /opt /dreamfactory/platformNext we will do a git clone to download the DreamFactory repository dsp-core.
$ git clone https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dsp-core.git /opt/dreamfactory/platformNow that the DreamFactory files are downloaded we will execute the installation script.
$ cd /opt/dreamfactory/platform
$ sudo ./scripts/installer.sh –cv

Finally, we need to configure httpd to connect to the DreamFactory application.
Below are the instructions to change the default site on httpd. For instructions on setting up virtual hosts, review the httpd documentation.
Edit the httpd default configuration file.
```bash $ sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ```Change the DocumentRoot to /opt/dreamfactory/platform/web
DocumentRoot /opt/dreamfactory/platform/webUpdate the Directory Path and the value of AllowOverride to All
<Directory "/opt/dreamfactory/platform/web/">
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Enable the apache2 rewrite engine.
Change the rights of the assets directory to writeable.
$ sudo chmod 777/opt/dreamfactory/platform/web/assets/
$ sudo chmod 777/opt/dreamfactory/platform/log/
Restart the httpd server
$ sudo service httpd restartYour DreamFactory Application should now be active, and available by entering the DNS name or IP address of your server into a web browser.
