OpenSearch is a search engine that allows you to search for information on the internet. If you're looking to install OpenSearch on Elementary OS, this guide will walk you through the process.
You can download the latest version of OpenSearch from the official website: https://opensearch.org/download/.
After the download is complete, you should have an archive file named opensearch-server-1.1.0.tar.gz
. Use the following command to extract it:
tar xzf opensearch-server-1.1.0.tar.gz
OpenSearch requires Java to run, so you'll need to install it if it's not already on your system. Use the following command to install Java:
sudo apt-get install default-jre
After Java is installed, navigate to the OpenSearch directory and start the OpenSearch service:
cd opensearch-server-1.1.0/
./bin/opensearch-service
Once the service is running, you can access OpenSearch on your browser by going to http://localhost:9200
.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed OpenSearch on your Elementary OS system.
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!
