WordPress: on Manjaro / Arch Linux

Here is the famous 2 minutes install:

  1. Download a fresh version of WordPress
  2. Install in a directory
On my system the files are in a folder on /home/myName

Now you need to set the permissions. Apache should be allowed to write to the directory, and so should you. Try this:

# chown http:http -R wp/
# sudo usermod -a -G http myName
# sudo chmod 777 -R wp/

Of course you should never ever use the last line on a WordPress on the web. These settings are for local development only.
