Installing Fedora Commons Repository on Arch Linux

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Fedora Commons Repository on Arch Linux. The repository contains a collection of software tools used for managing digital content.

Prerequisites

Before we start, there are certain prerequisites that need to be fulfilled:

• Arch Linux installed on your system
• Access to an online package manager such as Pacman
• Basic knowledge of the command line interface

Installation Steps

Step 1: Start by updating your system. Open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your system. Fedora requires JDK to run successfully. To install it, enter the following command:

sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk

Step 3: Install the Apache web server. Enter the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S apache

Step 4: Install the Fedora Commons Repository package. To do so, you need to add the Fedora GPG key to the package manager's keyring.

sudo pacman-key -r 8E14E24C6C4289BE9B88E8812F2F2A16C7A632A4
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 8E14E24C6C4289BE9B88E8812F2F2A16C7A632A4

Step 5: Next, add the Fedora repository to the package manager. To do this, create a new file /etc/pacman.conf.d/fedora.repo with the following content:

[fedora]
Server = http://downloads.mesonetworks.net/fedora/

Step 6: Update the package database:

sudo pacman -Sy

Step 7: Install the Fedora Commons Repository package by executing the following command:

sudo pacman -S fedora

Step 8: Once the installation is complete, start the Tomcat service by executing the following command:

sudo systemctl start tomcat

Step 9: Access the Fedora Commons Repository web interface by visiting the following URL in your web browser:

http://localhost:8080/fedora/

You should now be able to access the Fedora Commons Repository web interface on your Arch Linux system.
