RudderStack is a popular open-source platform that can be used for collecting, routing, and processing event data. In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install RudderStack on the latest version of Elementary OS.
The first step is to install the dependencies required to run RudderStack. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y wget gnupg
In this step, we will add RudderStack's repository to our system. The following command will add the repository key to your system:
curl https://rudderstack.com/keys/rudderstack_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
After adding the key, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb https://rudderstack.bintray.com/debian /
To edit the file using the nano text editor, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
And add deb https://rudderstack.bintray.com/debian / at the end of this file. Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Now we can install RudderStack by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install rudderstack
Once the installation is complete, we can start the RudderStack server by entering the following command:
sudo systemctl start rudderstack
To check the status of the server, use the following command:
sudo systemctl status rudderstack
If the output indicates that the service is running, everything is working correctly.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install RudderStack on the latest version of Elementary OS. With these steps, you should have a running RudderStack instance ready to start collecting data. Now you can go ahead and start configuring RudderStack to suit your needs.
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!
