How to install Conduit on OpenSUSE Latest

Conduit is a lightweight, high-performance, and reliable Rust-based server for tracking online users' presence. The following are the steps to install Conduit on OpenSUSE Latest.

Step 1: Update your System Packages

Before installing Conduit, you should update your system packages to ensure that you have up-to-date packages. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo zypper refresh

Step 2: Install necessary packages

Conduit requires some system packages to be installed before you can proceed. To install the required packages, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo zypper install build-essential git cmake openssl-devel pkg-config protobuf-devel

Step 3: Install Rust

Conduit is primarily written in Rust, so we need a Rust installation. To install Rust on your OpenSUSE Latest system, run the following command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Once Rust is installed, you need to add it to your system path. Run the following command:

source $HOME/.cargo/env

Step 4: Clone Conduit from Github

The next step is to clone the Conduit repository from Github using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/conduit-rust/conduit.git
cd conduit

Step 5: Build and Install Conduit

Finally, execute the following command in the terminal to build and install the Conduit server:

cargo build --release

This command will build the Conduit server in the release mode, and you can find the binary in the target/release directory.

If you want to install the binary on your system, run the following command:

sudo cargo install --path .

Step 6: Verify that Conduit is working

After installation, it is essential to test if the Conduit server is working correctly. To start the server, run the following command:

conduit-server

Once the server is running, you can verify that it is working by querying the "/ping" endpoint using the following command:

curl http://localhost:8080/ping

If everything is working correctly, you should receive a response with the message "pong."

Conclusion

That's it. You have successfully installed Conduit on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use this Rust-based server to track your online users' presence.
