Step 1: Install Java

CommaFeed is built on Java, so you need to have it installed on your system. To check if you have Java installed or not, run the following command in your terminal:

$ tar -xvf commafeed-2.4.0.tar.gz

Now you have a directory called commafeed in your current directory. Move to this directory and run the following command to start the CommaFeed server:

$ ./commafeed.sh start

This command will start the CommaFeed server, and you should see the output similar to this:

Starting CommaFeed...
