          <h2>Basic Installation</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Log into the Debian/Ubuntu device</li>
	<li>Run the following commands in a terminal:<br />
	<code class="codeBlock"># update repositories and install any available software updates<br />
	sudo apt&nbsp;update<br />
	sudo apt&nbsp;upgrade<br />
	# install Apache HTTPD, PHP and GIT<br />
	sudo apt&nbsp;install git apache2 php libapache2-mod-php<br />
	# clone the git repo<br />
	sudo git clone https://github.com/adolfintel/speedtest /var/www/html/speedtest<br />
	sudo cp /var/www/html/speedtest/example-singleServer-gauges.html /var/www/html/speedtest/index.html<br />
	# set the owner of the new speedtest directory to www-data<br />
	sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/speedtest</code></li>
	<li>Open a web browser and navigate to http://DNSorIP/speedtest</li>
	<li>The basic speed test functionality will be available, but it lacks the abillity to save and share speed test results. Let&#39;s add a database to enable those features</li>
</ol>

<h2>Optional Advanced Installation Steps</h2>

	<li>Continue the installation by running&nbsp;the following commands in a terminal:<br />
	<code class="codeBlock"># install MySQL/MariaDB<br />

	<li>Type Y and press Enter to disallow root login remotely</li>
	<li>Type Y and press Enter to remove the test database</li>
	<li>Type Y and press Enter to reload privilege tables</li>
	<li>Run the following command to login into MySQL: <code class="codeBlock">mysql -u root -p</code></li>
	<li>Authenticate with the root password set earlier</li>
	<li>Run the following commands to create the speedtest database and database user <code class="codeBlock">MariaDB [(none)]&gt; CREATE DATABASE speedtest;<br />
	MariaDB [(none)]&gt; GRANT ALL ON speedtest.* to &#39;speedtest&#39;@&#39;localhost&#39; IDENTIFIED BY &#39;Sp33dTest!!&#39;;<br />
	MariaDB [(none)]&gt; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<br />
	MariaDB [(none)]&gt; USE speedtest;<br />
	MariaDB [(none)]&gt;&nbsp;\. /var/www/html/speedtest/results/telemetry_mysql.sql<br />
	MariaDB [(none)]&gt; EXIT;<br />
	exit</code></li>
	<li>Continue with the following commands to setup the speedtest database<br />
	<code class="codeBlock"># edit telemetry_settings.php<br />
	sudo nano /var/www/html/speedtest/results/telemetry_settings.php</code></li>
	<li>Verify/change $db_type = &#39;mysql&#39;;</li>
	<li>Change $stats_password = &#39;P@$$w0rD&#39;;</li>
	<li>Change $enable_id_obfuscation = true;</li>
	<li>Update the Mysql Settings variables to the credentials created earlier
	<p>$MySql_username = &#39;speedtest&#39;;<br />
	$MySql_password = &#39;Sp33dTest!!&#39;;<br />
	$MySql_hostname = &#39;localhost&#39;;<br />
	$MySql_databasename = &#39;speedtest&#39;;</p>
	</li>
	<li>Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes to telemetry_settings.php</li>
	<li>Continue with the following commands in terminal:<br />
	<code class="codeBlock"># copy an example page with telemetry enabled<br />
	sudo cp /var/www/html/speedtest/example-singleServer-full.html /var/www/html/speedtest/index.html<br />
	# restart the apache2 service to enable MySQL<br />
	sudo systemctl restart apache2</code></li>
	<li>Open a web browser and navigate to http://DNSorIP/speedtest</li>
