How to Install CDS on Clear Linux Latest

CDS (Continuous Delivery Service) is an open-source platform for building continuous delivery pipelines. In this tutorial, we'll go through the process of installing CDS on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

To install CDS, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• A working installation of Clear Linux Latest
• Internet connectivity

Step 1: Update the System

Before we proceed with the installation, it's important to update the system to the latest software packages. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo swupd update

This command will update your system to the latest software packages available in the Clear Linux repository.

Step 2: Install Git

CDS is hosted on GitHub, so we need to have Git installed on our system to download the source code. To install Git, run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add git

This command will install Git on your system.

Step 3: Download CDS Source Code

Now that we have Git installed, we can download the CDS source code. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ovh/cds.git

This will create a new directory called cds in your current working directory and download the CDS source code into it.

Step 4: Install CDS Dependencies

CDS has a few dependencies that need to be installed before we can build it. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add pkg-config glib2 libcurl libldap libxml2 python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel openssl-dev

This command will install the necessary dependencies for building CDS.

Step 5: Build and Install CDS

Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we can build and install CDS. To do this, navigate to the cds directory by running the following command:

cd cds

Then, run the following command to build and install CDS:

sudo make install

This command will build CDS and install it on your system.

Step 6: Verify CDS Installation

To verify that CDS is installed and working correctly, run the following command to start the CDS service:

sudo systemctl start cds-api

Then, run the following command to verify that the CDS service is running:

systemctl status cds-api

If the CDS service is running correctly, you should see output similar to the following:

● cds-api.service - CDS API Service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/cds-api.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2022-01-21 22:04:06 UTC; 11s ago
