DataLife Engine Installation on Ubuntu Server
Before Star DataLife Engine Installation, we need to download the DataLife Engine Demo trial version Source code, let’s download the DataLife Engine demo train version from https://dle.news.com/demo.html
In this DataLife Engine Installation, I’m using my subdomain, if you want to try DataLife Engine for Learning purposes, I suggest you install it on your Subdomain.
If you already enough learn about DataLife Engine you can Install DataLife Engine on your main domain for Blogging and creating a new Website.
After download the DataLife Engine Trail Version, first we need to create a Web directory for DataLife Engine Installation files, let’s open your terminal and create any name directory.

touch /var/www/dle.hacknos.com |
Now copy the dle_english_trail.zip file in your Document Root Directory, in my case, my Document root directory in /var/www/dle.hacknos.com and extract it using unzip command.
If you install DataLife Engine on your main domain or shared hosting in your case your document directory is different.

sudo cp <Download directory> <destination Directory> cd /var/www/dle.hacknos.com sudo unzip dle_english_trail.zip |
