Prerequisites

Before installtion you need: nginx & git

If you don't have them try installing theme (Exmaple for Ubuntu):

$ sudo apt install nginx git

If you want Pylocalhost to serve and render PHP files you will also need php-fpm Version 7.0 or higher(Exmaple for Ubuntu):

$ sudo apt install php8.0 php8.0-fpm

$ sudo systemctl enable --now php8.0-fpm

Installation (Beta version)

👉 NOTE: The version below is unstable(Beta) --> Click Here for the latest stable version (1.6.1) 👈

Download preinstaller.py file which is in the repository.

You can get it from terminal using wget:

$ wget --no-dns-cache https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwxgaf/pylocalhost/master/preinstaller.py

After that just run the file with python 3:

$ python3 preinstaller.py

In some OSs may be you must type python instead of python3

Then run the installer.py file(it will be created once you ran preinstaller.py) with python 3 under sudo:

$ sudo python3 installer.py

It will show you details. If installation was unsuccessful please submit an issue including details and your system info.

Usage

Run:

$ sudo pylh enable

It will show you anything which is in ~/Pylocalhost and always it will start automatically when you turn your computer on ✔️

Just this! ✔️
