How to Install Tuleap on POP! OS

Tuleap is an open-source platform designed to help teams involved in software development projects with bug tracking, issue management, agile management, version control, code review and many more features. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Tuleap on POP! OS.

Requirements

• A fresh installation of POP! OS
• Sudo user access

Step 1 – Update your System

It is important to update your system packages to the latest version. You can do this by running the command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2 – Install Dependencies

Before installing Tuleap, we will need to install some dependencies first. These include Apache, MySQL, PHP, and other necessary modules. To install all these dependencies, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server mysql-client php php-common php-mysqli php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-soap php-gd php-xml php-intl php-mcrypt php-ldap php-xmlrpc php-smarty

Step 3 – Install Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that manages updates, dependencies and libraries of a PHP project. To install composer, use the following command:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Step 4 – Download Tuleap

To download Tuleap, run the following command:

sudo composer create-project tuleap/tuleap:11.17.0 --no-dev

This will download the latest version of Tuleap to your system.

Step 5 – Configure Apache

We will now configure Apache to serve Tuleap. Create a new Apache configuration file with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/tuleap.conf

Copy and paste the following configuration into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/tuleap

    <Directory /var/www/html/tuleap>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.

Enable the Tuleap site configuration:

sudo a2ensite tuleap.conf

Disable the default site configuration:

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6 – Create MySQL Database

We will now create a new MySQL database for Tuleap. Log in to your MySQL server using the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root user password when prompted.

Create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE tuleap character set UTF8 collate UTF8_bin;

Create a new MySQL user:

CREATE USER 'tuleap'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';

Replace yourpassword with your own desired password.

Grant privileges to the Tuleap database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tuleap.* TO 'tuleap'@'localhost';

Flush the privileges to update the changes made:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Exit the MySQL prompt:

exit;

Step 7 – Launch Tuleap Setup Wizard

Now that we have installed all the necessary components, we can now proceed to launch the Tuleap setup wizard. To do this, go to your web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/setup.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process.

Once the installation is complete, you can log in to your Tuleap instance using the credentials you set during the setup process.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tuleap on your POP! OS workstation with all necessary dependencies. With Tuleap, you can now manage your software development projects with features such as issue tracking, Agile management, version control, code review and many more.
