How to Install OnTrack on Manjaro

OnTrack is an automation tool that helps you manage your Git workflows. In this tutorial, we'll guide you on how to install OnTrack on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, make sure you have the following:

  • A working installation of Manjaro
  • Internet connectivity
  • Git installed on your Manjaro system

Installation

Here are the steps to install OnTrack on Manjaro:

  1. Open your terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T simultaneously.

  2. Install the maven package using the following command:

    sudo pacman -S maven
    

    This command installs maven which is required to build the OnTrack project.

  3. Clone the OnTrack project from its official GitHub repository using the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/inoda/ontrack.git
    

    This command creates a copy of the OnTrack project in your directory.

  4. Navigate to the project directory using the following command:

    cd ontrack
    
  5. Build the project using the following command:

    mvn clean install -DskipTests
    

    This command compiles and installs OnTrack, skipping the tests to speed up the process.

  6. Once the build process is complete, you can run OnTrack using the following command:

    cd ontrack-installer/target/ontrack-installer-VERSION-bin.zip
    unzip ontrack-installer-VERSION-bin.zip
    cd ontrack-installer-VERSION/bin
    ./ontrackw
    

    Replace "VERSION" with the version number you installed. This will start the OnTrack application.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OnTrack on your Manjaro system. You can now start using OnTrack to manage your Git workflows.
