Tutorial: How to install Wayback on OpenSUSE Latest

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Wayback on OpenSUSE Latest. Wayback is a web archiving utility used to capture and store websites for future reference. It is available on GitHub, so we will begin by cloning the repository and installing the necessary dependencies.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have:

• A system running OpenSUSE Latest
• Administrative access to the system
• A working internet connection

Step 1: Clone the Wayback repository

The first thing we need to do is clone the Wayback repository from GitHub. To do this, open a terminal and enter the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/wabarc/wayback.git

This will clone the repository to your local machine.

Step 2: Install dependencies

Next, we need to install the dependencies required by Wayback. This can be done using the following command:

$ sudo zypper install maven java-11-openjdk-devel

This will install the Maven build system and JDK 11. Maven is used to build the Wayback executable, while the JDK is required to compile and run the code.

Step 3: Build Wayback

After installing the dependencies, we can now build Wayback using Maven. Navigate to the root directory of the cloned repository and run the following command:

$ mvn clean install

This will compile the code, run unit tests, and create an executable JAR file.

Step 4: Start Wayback

Finally, we can start Wayback using the following command:

$ java -jar ./wayback-webapp/target/wayback-webapp-2.0.2-SNAPSHOT.war

This will start the Wayback server. You can now access the Wayback UI by visiting http://localhost:8080/wayback/.
