In reply to Bret.

@Bret,

Thanks for pointing out errors in the article. I have corrected the commands as suggested by you…

Thank you! The best-organized description of how to do this. I've tried all kinds of things, including docker installation. Lychee's sites do not have well-organized documentation. Here are a couple of things that were missing: 1) nginx configuration should have "root /var/www/html/Lychee/public;". The /public was missing. 2) permissions: inside the Lychee folder, run "sudo chown -R sudo chown -R www-data:www-data:www-data", because the Nginx server "user" is www-data and it needs to be able to write to public/. I couldn't get the permissions commands to work that you have.

I tried to install Lychee according to your tutorial. I had problems at the beginning because my PHP is 7.2 and not 7, but I could solve this.

But now I am stuck at position 10:

root@Lychee:~# php -r “if (hash_file(‘sha384’, ‘composer-setup.php’) === ’93b54496392c062774670ac18b134c3b3a95e5a5e5c8f1a9f115f203b75bf9a129d5daa8ba6a13e2cc8a1da0806388a8′) { echo ‘Installer verified’; } else { echo ‘Installer corrupt’; unlink(‘composer-setup.php’); } echo PHP_EOL;”
PHP Warning: hash_file(composer-setup.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Command line code on line 1
Installer corrupt PHP Warning: unlink(composer-setup.php): No such file or directory in Command line code on line 1

what am I doing wrong
thanks for your help

I've remotely installed Lychee on my Raspberry Pi. I don't have physical access to the device for the foreseeable future. When I get to step 13, I'm getting a 403 Forbidden message. Any ideas on how to complete the installation? I feel like I'm overlooking the obvious.
