MongooseIM is a messaging platform that offers real-time messaging and data exchange capabilities. It is built on top of the Erlang programming language.
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install MongooseIM on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we get started with the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the operating system to the latest version. You can do that by running the command:
swupd update
This command will update the operating system and any installed packages.
Next, we need to install the dependencies required by MongooseIM. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl curl devpkg-expat
Download the MongooseIM package from the official website using the following command:
curl -LO https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/mongooseim/mongooseim_4.2.2~clear20200114.1_amd64.rpm
Note: Ensure that you are downloading the package version that is compatible with your operating system.
Now that we have downloaded the package, we can install it using the package manager. Run the following command to install the MongooseIM package:
sudo rpm -i mongooseim_4.2.2~clear20200114.1_amd64.rpm
MongooseIM is set to start automatically upon installation. If it is not, you can start the service using the command:
sudo systemctl start mongooseim
To verify that the installation was successful, run the command:
sudo systemctl status mongooseim
If the service is running, you will see output similar to the following:
● mongooseim.service - MongooseIM, an open messaging platform with focus on XMPP

You can also check if the service is listening on port 5222 by running:
sudo ss -tunlp | grep 5222
If the service is running, you will see output similar to the following:
tcp LISTEN 0 128 :::5222 :::* users:(("beam.smp",pid=6546,fd=22))
