In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install the Countly Community Edition on the latest version of Elementary OS.
The first thing you need to do is update your system to make sure it is up-to-date. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Before installing Countly, you need to install some required dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev libkrb5-dev python-dev ruby-full
Countly requires MongoDB to be installed on your system. You can install MongoDB by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb
sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb
Once you have installed all the required dependencies, you can proceed with installing Countly. Download the Countly Community Edition package using the following command:
wget https://countly.com/download/server/community/countly-server-latest.tar.gz
After downloading Countly, extract it to your desired directory. In our case, we will extract it to the /opt directory.
sudo tar -zxvf countly-server-latest.tar.gz -C /opt/
In the next step, you need to configure Countly. Navigate to the Countly directory and run the following command:
cd /opt/countly
sudo ./bin/countly.install.sh
This command will launch the Countly setup wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. Make sure to choose community edition when prompted.
To start the Countly server, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start countly
sudo systemctl enable countly
You can access Countly by opening your web browser and entering your server's IP address followed by :6001. For example, http://192.168.1.100:6001
