How to Install Typesense on Clear Linux Latest

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Typesense, an open source search engine that provides fast and relevant search results. We will be using Clear Linux Latest as the operating system for this tutorial.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:

• Access to a server running Clear Linux Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges
• A web browser to access Typesense's web interface

Step 1: Install Required Packages

To install Typesense, we need to install a few prerequisite packages. Open a terminal window and run the following commands:

sudo swupd update
sudo swupd bundle-add tar wget

Step 2: Download Typesense

Next, we need to download the latest version of Typesense from its website. Head over to https://typesense.org and download the Linux distribution package.

wget https://dl.typesense.org/releases/0.21.0/typesense-server-0.21.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract the Archive

After downloading the Typesense package, extract it to a directory named typesense. Run the following command to extract the archive:

mkdir typesense && tar -xvf typesense-server-0.21.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C typesense --strip-components=1

Step 4: Start the Typesense Server

Now that we have extracted the Typesense package, we need to start its server. Run the following command:

cd typesense && sudo ./typesense-server --data-dir=data

This command will start the server and create a data directory in the current directory.

Step 5: Verify Typesense Is Running

You should see the following output when the server starts:

INFO Server listening on: 0.0.0.0:8108

To verify that the server is running, open a web browser and go to http://<server's IP address>:8108. This should bring up the Typesense dashboard.
