In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Typesense, an open source search engine that provides fast and relevant search results. We will be using Clear Linux Latest as the operating system for this tutorial.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
To install Typesense, we need to install a few prerequisite packages. Open a terminal window and run the following commands:
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd bundle-add tar wget
Next, we need to download the latest version of Typesense from its website. Head over to https://typesense.org and download the Linux distribution package.
wget https://dl.typesense.org/releases/0.21.0/typesense-server-0.21.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
After downloading the Typesense package, extract it to a directory named typesense. Run the following command to extract the archive:
mkdir typesense && tar -xvf typesense-server-0.21.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C typesense --strip-components=1
Now that we have extracted the Typesense package, we need to start its server. Run the following command:
cd typesense && sudo ./typesense-server --data-dir=data
This command will start the server and create a data directory in the current directory.
You should see the following output when the server starts:
INFO Server listening on: 0.0.0.0:8108
To verify that the server is running, open a web browser and go to http://<server's IP address>:8108. This should bring up the Typesense dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Typesense on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start using Typesense to provide fast and relevant search results for your applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
