To follow this guide, you should be familiar with the notion of SSH keys and installing/configuring server software on Ubuntu.
Previous articles on this blog explain how to install Chamilo 1.9 using Juju Charms, how to install 1.10.2 on Ubuntu 15.10, and 1.10.* on Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04.
Step 1: Get a Digital Ocean instance If you don’t have one, create an account on DigitalOceanGive a credit card account or make a payment through PayPal (you might not need it for the first few bucks you’ll need to follow this guide)Create a (cheap) instance of 3GB RAM ($15/month) with Ubuntu 18.04 x64. You can also start with a 1GB RAM instance, then resize to 3GB only for the composer update command (below), then resize back down to 1GB for the restGive an SSH key so that you can connect to your instance with “ssh root@[instance-ip]” Step 2: Setup temporary domain name
