Concerto server install on Raspberry Pi

I am following the directions found on the github website (https://github.com/concerto/concerto-debian). The first time I did this, I was not familiar with git at all. More info on git can be found here (http://git-scm.com/about). First you want to install git using the command:
sudo apt-get install git

OK. I ended up going into the raspberry pi's gui and downloading the source code from

http://www.concerto-signage.org/deploy

I downloaded the tar.gz and moved the files to the /var/www directory.

Continuing on with the installation, use phpmyadmin to create a concerto database, run the schema.sql and data.sql scripts.

Make a copy of the config.inc.php.sample using this command

cp config.inc.php.sample config.inc.php

Open the config.inc.php and change the sql settings to localhost and the user/password you create.

Pointing a browser to //localhost/index.php should show the concerto login screen.

Fix administrator password here:

It is important to remember to create an images folder and templates folder in the content folder and grant read/write permissions.
mkdir /var/www/content/images
mkdir /var/www/content/templates
chmod 777 /var/www/content/images
chmod 777/var/www/content/templates
