Ackee is an open-source analytics software tool that enables website owners to track website traffic and analyze user behavior. In this tutorial, we will cover the step-by-step process of installing Ackee on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

• OpenSUSE Latest installed on your system
• A root or sudo user account

Step 1: Install Node.js

Ackee requires Node.js to run. To install Node.js on OpenSUSE Latest, use the following commands:

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install nodejs

Verify that Node.js is installed correctly by running the following command:

node -v

This should output the version of Node.js installed on your system.

Step 2: Install MongoDB

Ackee uses MongoDB as its database. To install MongoDB, use the following commands:

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install mongodb-server mongodb

Start the MongoDB service and enable it to run on system boot:

sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Verify that MongoDB is running by running the following command:

sudo systemctl status mongodb

This should display the current status of the MongoDB service.

Step 3: Download and Extract Ackee

Download the Ackee source code from the official website using the following command:

wget https://github.com/electerious/Ackee/archive/master.zip

Extract the downloaded file using the following command:

unzip master.zip -d ackee

Move the extracted Ackee directory to the desired location, such as /usr/local:

sudo mv ackee/Ackee-master /usr/local/ackee

Step 4: Configure Ackee

Change to the Ackee directory and install the dependencies using the following commands:

cd /usr/local/ackee
npm install

Copy the .env.example file to .env using the following command:

cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file and set the MONGODB_URI variable to your MongoDB connection string:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/ackee

Step 5: Run Ackee

Start the Ackee server using the following command:

npm start

Ackee should now be running at localhost:3000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ackee on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start tracking website traffic and analyzing user behavior.
