How to Install DOMJudge on Ubuntu Server Latest
This tutorial will guide you through the installation of DOMJudge, an open-source online judge system, on Ubuntu Server Latest. Follow the steps below to get started.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have:
- A Ubuntu Server Latest system up and running
- Root or a sudo user account access
Step 1: Update and Upgrade the System
The first step is to ensure that your system is up to date. Open a terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Step 2: Install Required Dependencies
Next, we need to install the required dependencies for DOMJudge to function correctly. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential apache2 php7.2 php7.2-mysql php7.2-curl php7.2-gd php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xml
Step 3: Clone the DOMJudge Repository
Now, let's clone the DOMJudge repository to our system. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/domjudge/domjudge.git
This will create a new directory named domjudge in the current working directory.
Step 4: Install DOMJudge
Change into the domjudge directory and run the installation script:
cd domjudge
sudo ./install.sh
This script will perform several tasks, such as setting up the database, configuring the web server, and creating a default user account.
During the installation process, you will be prompted to provide some information, such as the database connection details and the root user password.
Note: If you're setting up a production environment, it's recommended to set up SSL/TLS encryption for the web server. See the DOMJudge documentation for more information.
Step 5: Test DOMJudge
After the installation is complete, you can access DOMJudge by navigating to the address http://localhost/domjudge/ in your web browser.
Log in with the admin account credentials that you provided during installation, and you should see the DOMJudge dashboard.
