OpenOLAT is an open source Learning Management System (LMS) that is widely used in educational environments to manage and deliver online courses. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing OpenOLAT on the Clear Linux Latest operating system.
Before we begin, make sure your system meets the following prerequisites:
Before we proceed with the installation of OpenOLAT, we need to update the system to ensure that all the packages are up-to-date. To update the system, open the Terminal and execute the following command:
sudo swupd update
Enter the superuser password when prompted and wait for the update to complete.
OpenOLAT requires Java to be installed on the system. We will install the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 11, which is the recommended version for OpenOLAT.
To install the JDK, execute the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add java-development
Once Java is installed, we can proceed with the installation of OpenOLAT. OpenOLAT provides an installation script that automates the installation process. To download the installation script, execute the following command:
wget https://www.openolat.com/fileadmin/openolat/resources/installers/OpenOLAT-14.2.0_unix.sh
This will download the OpenOLAT installation script to your current working directory.
Next, we need to make the installation script executable. To do this, execute the following command:
chmod +x OpenOLAT-14.2.0_unix.sh
Finally, run the installation script using the following command:
sudo ./OpenOLAT-14.2.0_unix.sh
The installation script will prompt you with a series of questions to configure the installation. Answer the questions according to your requirements.
Once the installation is complete, OpenOLAT will be installed on your system.
To access OpenOLAT, open a web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/
This will open the OpenOLAT login page. Enter the username and password that you set during the installation process.
