How to Install Strider on Clear Linux Latest

Strider is an open-source continuous integration tool that can be used to automate the building, testing, and deployment of software applications. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Strider on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you should have the following:

  • A Clear Linux Latest installation
  • Root privileges or non-root user with sudo access
  • Network access to download packages

Step 1: Install MongoDB

Strider requires MongoDB as a database backend. We will first install MongoDB on the Clear Linux system.

  1. Open a terminal on Clear Linux.

  2. Run the following command to add the official MongoDB repository:

    sudo swupd bundle-add mongodb

  3. Once the installation is complete, start the MongoDB service by running:

    sudo systemctl start mongodb

  4. Also, enable the MongoDB service to start automatically on system boot:

    sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Step 2: Install Node.js

Strider is built with Node.js. We will install the latest stable version of Node.js using the official Clear Linux repository.

  1. Open a terminal on Clear Linux.

  2. Run the following command to add the official Clear Linux Node.js repository:

    sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic

Step 3: Install Strider

Now that MongoDB and Node.js are installed, we can proceed to install Strider.

  1. Open a terminal on Clear Linux.

  2. Run the following command to install Strider:

    sudo npm install -g strider

    This command will download and install the latest stable version of Strider.

Step 4: Configure Strider

After installing Strider, we need to configure it with MongoDB and create an admin user.

  1. Open a terminal on Clear Linux.

  2. Run the following command to open the Strider configuration file in a text editor:

    sudo nano /usr/lib/node_modules/strider/config.js

  3. Locate the db_uri setting and update it with your MongoDB URI in the following format:

    db_uri: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/strider',

  4. Save and close the configuration file.

  5. Run the following command to create an admin user for Strider:

    sudo strider addUser

    You will be prompted to enter the username, email, and password for the admin user.

  6. Start the Strider service by running:

    sudo strider

    This command will start the Strider service and make it accessible at http://localhost:3000.

  7. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

  8. Login using the admin credentials created earlier.

  9. Configure Strider according to your needs and start building, testing, and deploying software applications.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Strider on Clear Linux Latest.
