Link:
https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Administration_Guide.html#_system_requirements
Under section 3.1:
"In this guide, we assume that all those components are running on the same
server (i.e., "localhost" or "127.0.0.1") that PacketFence will be
installed on.
Good understanding of those underlying component and GNU/Linux is required
to install PacketFence. If you miss some of those required components,
please refer to the appropriate documentation and proceed with the
installation of these requirements before continuing with this guide."

I understand how a package manager works. But the problem I am facing is
starting the mysql instace once packetfence is installed. I used the
command:
$ sudo systemctl start mysqld
I got the following error: Failed to start mysqld.service: Unit is masked.
What is the first thing I need to do right after installing packetfence to
view the web configuration page?
