In your browser go to web page http://www.allmice.com/cms/download-allmice-cms
and download .tar.gz file of Classic Edition clicking the corresponding link there.



Now we need to copy or move, extract and rename files and directories and we are using for these steps a terminal window. So- open your favorite terminal program (Terminator is used in this example).

Copy or move the file allmice-cms-classic-edition-v-1-3-1.tar.gz (the part "v-1-3-1" of the file name can be different depending on what version is stable at the moment of downloading the file) to directory /var/www/html.
sudo mv /home/user/Downloads/allmice-cms-classic-edition-v-1-3-1.tar.gz /var/www/html
Go to web directory
cd /var/www/html

Extract the file in the web server directory.
sudo tar -zxvf allmice-cms-classic-edition-v-1-3-1.tar.gz



Rename the directory, which was content of the compressed downloaded file to be part of the url (E.g. if you rename it to "manuals", then website can be accessed through url http://localhost/manuals).
sudo mv allmice-cms-classic-edition-v-1-3-1 manuals

Change permissions of all Allmice CMS files and directories to be more secure:
sudo chmod -R 755 manuals

Make directory sites writeable for the web site installing process:
sudo chmod -R 777 manuals/sites
