sudo dnf update
sudo dnf upgrade
  • Install the Apache web server and PHP by running the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd php
  • Next, start the Apache web server and enable it to start automatically on boot:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
  • Create a new directory for BoltWire in the Apache document root directory:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/boltwire
  • Download the latest version of BoltWire CMS from the official website and extract the files to the /var/www/html/boltwire directory:
