How to install Pluck CMS on CentOS 7
To install Pluck CMS on CentOS 7
Pluck, also known as Pluck CMS, is an open source content management system, written in the PHP scripting language. It allows for web page creation for users with little or no programming experience, and, unlike most content management systems, does not use a database to store its data. Pluck also includes a module system, which allows developers to integrate custom functionality into the system.
