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.
Before we start, there are certain prerequisites that need to be fulfilled:
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.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Fedora Commons Repository on Arch Linux. By following these steps, you can create a powerful digital content management system on your Linux server.
