How to install LiteCart on Debian 12

To Install LiteCart On Debian 12

Introduction:

LiteCart's on-demand design framework makes the platform super fast! Once you access a node, LiteCart will automatically load only the necessary php files into the system. The system nodes are static classes. They are accessed by simply typing nodename::method() or nodename::$variable.

Installation Procedure:

root@linuxhelp:~# cat /etc/os-release
