In this tutorial, we will be installing Fossil on Clear Linux Latest, which is an open-source software configuration management system. The installation process is straightforward and should take only a few minutes to complete.
Before you start, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Before we install Fossil, we need to ensure that our system has all the necessary packages required for the installation. Open your terminal and run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo swupd bundle-add c-basic dev-utils
This command will install the basic development tools required for building Fossil.
Next, we need to download Fossil from its official site. We will download the latest version (2.16) of Fossil from the official site. To download Fossil, open your terminal and run the following command:
wget https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/tarball/fossil-src-2.16.tar.gz
This command will download the latest version of Fossil on your system.
Once the package has been downloaded, you need to extract it. To do this, run the following command:
tar -zxvf fossil-src-2.16.tar.gz
This command will extract the package into a fossil-src-2.16 directory.
Now that we have extracted Fossil, we need to build it. To do this, navigate to the fossil-src-2.16 directory and run the following command:
cd fossil-src-2.16
make
This command will build Fossil on your system.
Finally, we need to install Fossil on our system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo make install
This command will install Fossil on your system.
To verify that Fossil has been installed correctly, open your terminal and run the following command:
fossil version
This command should output the version of Fossil installed on your system.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Fossil on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use Fossil to manage your source code and version control.
