[Recommended] Simplified Install

By Josh M. 2 mins 5

The simplified FaxStore installation is designed to reduce setup time and remove much of the manual server preparation normally required. Instead of installing each dependency individually, the installer handles the core software stack automatically and prepares the machine for FaxStore in one process.

This installation method is intended for fresh or properly prepared Linux environments where FaxStore will be installed directly onto the server.

The installer must be run as the root user so it can install packages, configure services, and place files in the required locations.

Before Starting

Make sure an A record has been created for the chosen domain and that it points to the server’s public IP address. Correct DNS setup is important so Nginx and SSL configuration can complete properly during installation.

Downloading & Uploading FaxStore Files

Download FaxStore from the Downloads section on Weblutions.com and extract the contents onto a fresh Ubuntu server. We recommend it being installed into the below location, the faxstore folder will need to be created.

  1. Download the latest version of FaxStore from weblutions.com/account

  2. Extract the RAR file

  3. Upload all contents into the FaxStore folder on the server

/home/faxstore

Recommended file path on Ubuntu

Starting Installation

Once the files are in place, start the installer with the below command

bash /home/faxstore/install.sh

Running this command begins the automated setup process. During installation, the script installs the main services and packages required for FaxStore, including:

  • Nginx

  • MySQL Server

  • Certbot

  • python3-certbot-nginx

  • Node.js

  • NPM

The installer also prepares a screen session so FaxStore can be launched and managed more easily from the terminal.

After the installation completes, FaxStore starts and presents the updated setup page. This setup process guides the remaining configuration required to get the store online.

To access the setup page navigate to the below, replacing the server IP with the relevant one

http://IP_HERE:3000/setup

If the simplified install has been completed successfully, the other manual installation steps in the documentation do not need to be followed.
