In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Sourcegraph on Arch Linux.
Before we start with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Sourcegraph provides a package for Arch Linux. We can download the package using pacman. To do that, open the terminal and type:
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S sourcegraph
The pacman -Syy command updates the package repositories. The pacman -S sourcegraph command downloads the Sourcegraph package.
After successfully downloading the package, we need to start the Sourcegraph service. To start the service, type:
sudo systemctl start sourcegraph
We can also enable the Sourcegraph service to start automatically at boot time. To enable the service, type:
sudo systemctl enable sourcegraph
We can check the status of the Sourcegraph service using the following command:
sudo systemctl status sourcegraph
The output should indicate the service status as active (running).
Once the service is up and running, we can access the Sourcegraph web interface from a web browser. Open your web browser and type the following URL:
https://localhost:7080
This will take you to the Sourcegraph web interface.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Sourcegraph on Arch Linux. We also learned how to start, enable, and check the status of the Sourcegraph service. We hope this tutorial was helpful for you.
