## Installation
-This guide will assume that you have administrative rights, either as root or a user with [sudo permissions](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo). If you want to run this guide with root, ignore the `sudo` at the beginning of the lines, unless it calls a user like `sudo -Hu pleroma`; in this case, use `su <username> -s $SHELL -c 'command'` instead.

### Required packages
sudo pacman -S ffmpeg imagemagick perl-image-exiftool
```
-### Install PleromaBE
+### Install AkkomaBE
-* Add a new system user for the Pleroma service:
+* Add a new system user for the Akkoma service:
```shell
-sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -m -d /var/lib/pleroma -U pleroma
+sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -m -d /var/lib/akkoma -U akkoma
```
-**Note**: To execute a single command as the Pleroma system user, use `sudo -Hu pleroma command`. You can also switch to a shell by using `sudo -Hu pleroma $SHELL`. If you don’t have and want `sudo` on your system, you can use `su` as root user (UID 0) for a single command by using `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL -c 'command'` and `su -l pleroma -s $SHELL` for starting a shell.

+sudo mkdir -p /opt/akkoma
+sudo chown -R akkoma:akkoma /opt/akkoma
+sudo -Hu akkoma git clone https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git /opt/akkoma
```
* Change to the new directory:
```shell
-cd /opt/pleroma
+cd /opt/akkoma
```
-* Install the dependencies for Pleroma and answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `Hex`:
+* Install the dependencies for Akkoma and answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `Hex`:
```shell
-sudo -Hu pleroma mix deps.get
+sudo -Hu akkoma mix deps.get
```
-* Generate the configuration: `sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.instance gen`
+* Generate the configuration: `sudo -Hu akkoma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.instance gen`
* Answer with `yes` if it asks you to install `rebar3`.
- * This may take some time, because parts of pleroma get compiled first.
+ * This may take some time, because parts of akkoma get compiled first.
* After that it will ask you a few questions about your instance and generates a configuration file in `config/generated_config.exs`.
-* Check the configuration and if all looks right, rename it, so Pleroma will load it (`prod.secret.exs` for productive instance, `dev.secret.exs` for development instances):
+* Check the configuration and if all looks right, rename it, so Akkoma will load it (`prod.secret.exs` for productive instance, `dev.secret.exs` for development instances):

+sudo -Hu akkoma mv config/{generated_config.exs,prod.secret.exs}
```
* The previous command creates also the file `config/setup_db.psql`, with which you can create the database:
* Now run the database migration:
```shell
-sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate
+sudo -Hu akkoma MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate

```shell
-sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
+sudo -Hu akkoma MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
```
### Finalize installation
-If you want to open your newly installed instance to the world, you should run nginx or some other webserver/proxy in front of Pleroma and you should consider to create a systemd service file for Pleroma.

#### Nginx
* Copy the example nginx configuration and activate it:
```shell
-sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx
-sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx
+sudo cp /opt/akkoma/installation/akkoma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/akkoma.nginx
+sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/akkoma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/akkoma.nginx
```
* Before starting nginx edit the configuration and change it to your needs (e.g. change servername, change cert paths)
#### Other webserver/proxies
-You can find example configurations for them in `/opt/pleroma/installation/`.
+You can find example configurations for them in `/opt/akkoma/installation/`.
#### Systemd service
* Copy example service file
```shell
-sudo cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service
+sudo cp /opt/akkoma/installation/akkoma.service /etc/systemd/system/akkoma.service
```
* Edit the service file and make sure that all paths fit your installation
-* Enable and start `pleroma.service`:
+* Enable and start `akkoma.service`:
```shell
-sudo systemctl enable --now pleroma.service
+sudo systemctl enable --now akkoma.service
```
#### Create your first user
If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following task:
```shell
-sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.user new <username> <your@emailaddress> --admin
+sudo -Hu akkoma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.user new <username> <your@emailaddress> --admin
```
