Let us install Yetiforce on CentOS 7.

Then open port 80 in the CentOS firewall.

:~# firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
success
:~# firewall-cmd --reload
success

Now, you have to install PHP 7.2. Since PHP 7.2 is not available in CentOS, it is necessary to use another repository.

:~# yum install epel-release yum-utils
:~# rpm -Uhv https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
:~# yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72

Once you have done this, you can install PHP 7.2 and the required modules for Yetiforce.

:~# yum install php php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-xml php-xmlrpc php-gd php-mbstring php-imap php-json php-xdebug php-posix php-uopz php-bcmath php-zip php-apcu php-ldap php-soap php-opcache php-intl php-imagick

:~# grep "A temporary password" /var/log/mysqld.log
A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: 9iyw6>sX:jf5

Now, you have to use the mysql_secure_installation script to secure MySQL.

:~# mysql_secure_installation

You will be asked several questions to improve the security of the program:

Remove anonymous users? Y
Disallow root login remotely? Y
Remove test database and access to it? Y
Reload privilege tables now? Y

6.- secure the MySQL installation
6.- secure the MySQL installation

Now, you have to create a user and database for Yetiforce.

:~# mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE yetiforce;
> CREATE USER 'yetiforceuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your-password';
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON yetiforce.* TO 'yetiforceuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; 
> exit;

:~# yum install wget unzip
:~# wget https://github.com/YetiForceCompany/YetiForceCRM/releases/download/5.1.0/YetiForceCRM-5.1.0-complete.zip

:~# unzip YetiForceCRM-5.1.0-complete.zip -d /var/www/html/

Next, set the right permissions to the folder.

:~# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html

NOTE: delete the .zip file.

Yetiforce requires external libraries that we can install using Composer.
