RudderStack is an open source data pipeline tool that helps organizations collect, store, process, and route data to different destinations. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install RudderStack on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install the necessary packages

To install RudderStack, we first need to install some necessary packages that will be required during the installation process. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo apk add bash curl tar gzip coreutils

This command will install Bash (a shell), curl (a command-line tool for transferring data), tar (a tool for archiving files), gzip (a tool for compressing files), and coreutils (a set of basic Unix tools).

Step 2: Download and extract RudderStack

The next step is to download and extract the RudderStack files. To do this, run the following command:

curl -L https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server/releases/latest/download/rudder.tar.gz | tar xvz

This command will download the latest version of RudderStack and extract it to the current directory using tar, a tool for archiving and extracting files.

Step 3: Start RudderStack

To start RudderStack, navigate to the directory where RudderStack was extracted, and run the following command:

./bin/rudder-server start

This will start the RudderStack server in the background as a daemon, and you should see a message that says "RudderStack started." You can now navigate to http://localhost:8080/controlpanel to access the RudderStack control panel.
