How to Install Zulip on EndeavourOS Latest
Zulip is a powerful open-source team chat platform that lets teams communicate with each other. This guide will walk you through the installation of Zulip on EndeavourOS Linux.
Prerequisites
- A running instance of EndeavourOS Linux.
- sudo access to run administrative commands.
Step 1: Install Dependencies
Before we can install Zulip, we need to install some required dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu @base-devel python2 tar
By running the above command, we are installing the following dependencies:
- @base-devel: This includes various tools and libraries required for building and compiling packages on the system.
- Python2: Zulip is dependent on Python2, so we need to install it.
- Tar: It is required to extract the downloaded files.
Step 2: Download and Extract Zulip
Once the dependencies are installed successfully, we can proceed to download and extract the Zulip source code. Run the following commands:
cd ~
wget https://github.com/zulip/zulip/archive/v3.5.0.tar.gz
tar xzf v3.5.0.tar.gz
We have downloaded the Zulip source code and extracted it to the home directory. You can replace the version number with the latest version available on the Zulip releases page.
Step 3: Install Zulip
Now we can proceed with the installation of Zulip. Run the following commands inside the extracted directory:
cd zulip-3.5.0/
sudo scripts/setup/install
It will take some time to install all the dependencies, libraries, and packages required by Zulip.
Step 4: Access Zulip
Once the installation is complete, we can access the Zulip web interface at http://localhost:9981. If you are accessing it remotely, replace "localhost" with the IP or hostname of your server.
You will need to create an administrator account during the first login. After that, you can invite other team members to the Zulip server, configure settings, and start using it for communication.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zulip on your EndeavourOS Linux system.
