Installing Minio on Clear Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Minio on Clear Linux Latest. Minio is a powerful object storage server compatible with Amazon S3 APIs. Its open-source nature has made it very popular among developers looking for scalable, high-performance object storage.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:

• Clear Linux Latest installed on your system
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of the Linux command line

Step 1: Install mc (Minio Client)

The first step is to install the Minio client, which is a command-line tool needed to perform various operations on a Minio server. Execute the following command to install MC (Minio Client) on Clear Linux Latest:

sudo swupd bundle-add mc

Step 2: Download Minio binary

Next, download the Minio binary from the official website. Open your web browser, go to https://minio.io/download, and download the archive for your platform. For Clear Linux, select the "Linux (64-bit)" option.

Alternatively, you can download the binary using the following command:

wget https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio

Step 3: Set executable permission

After downloading the Minio binary, set executable permission to the file using the following command:

chmod +x minio

Step 4: Create a Minio user

Now, create a new user for Minio with the following command:

sudo useradd -r minio-user -s /sbin/nologin

This command will create a new system user 'minio-user' with no login permission.

Step 5: Create a data directory

Create a data directory where Minio will store data. The following command will create a directory named 'minio-data' under '/opt' directory:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/minio-data

Step 6: Start Minio server

Finally, start Minio server using the below command:

./minio server /opt/minio-data

This command will start the Minio server with the default settings using the '/opt/minio-data' directory for data storage.

Step 7: Access Minio server

After successfully installing and starting the Minio server, it can be accessed by opening the web browser and navigating to "http://localhost:9000". This will open the Minio web console where you can manage your object storage.
