Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

A Fedora Server Latest machine

Step 1: Install Java 8

OpenTripPlanner requires Java 8 to run. To install Java 8 on your Fedora Server Latest, follow the steps below.

Open a terminal window.

```

Verify that Java 8 is installed by running the following command.

java -version

If Java 8 is installed, you should see output similar to the following:

openjdk version "1.8.0_292"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_292-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.292-b10, mixed mode)

Step 2: Install OpenTripPlanner

To install OpenTripPlanner on your Fedora Server Latest machine, follow the steps below.

Open a terminal window.

Add the OpenTripPlanner repository to your system using the following command.

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/opentripplanner/

Install OpenTripPlanner using the following command.

Step 3: Configure OpenTripPlanner

Now that OpenTripPlanner is installed on your Fedora Server Latest machine, you need to configure it.

Create a directory to store your OpenTripPlanner configuration files.
```
sudo mkdir /var/otp
```
Navigate to the directory you just created.
```
cd /var/otp
```

Download the default configuration files using the following command.

sudo curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opentripplanner/OpenTripPlanner/master/src/test/resources/org/opentripplanner/test/otp.yml
