MongooseIM is a messaging platform that offers real-time messaging and data exchange capabilities. It is built on top of the Erlang programming language.

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install MongooseIM on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation process, ensure that you have the following:

A Clear Linux Latest server or virtual machine.
Root access to the server or virtual machine.
A stable internet connection.

Step 1: Update the operating system

The first step is to update the operating system to the latest version. You can do that by running the command:

swupd update

This command will update the operating system and any installed packages.

Step 2: Install the required dependencies

Next, we need to install the dependencies required by MongooseIM. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl curl devpkg-expat

Step 3: Download the MongooseIM package

Download the MongooseIM package from the official website using the following command:

curl -LO https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/mongooseim/mongooseim_4.2.2~clear20200114.1_amd64.rpm

Note: Ensure that you are downloading the package version that is compatible with your operating system.

Step 4: Install the package

Now that we have downloaded the package, we can install it using the package manager. Run the following command to install the MongooseIM package:

sudo rpm -i mongooseim_4.2.2~clear20200114.1_amd64.rpm

Step 5: Start the MongooseIM service

MongooseIM is set to start automatically upon installation. If it is not, you can start the service using the command:

sudo systemctl start mongooseim

Step 6: Verify the installation

To verify that the installation was successful, run the command:

sudo systemctl status mongooseim

If the service is running, you will see output similar to the following:
