OpenTripPlanner is a multimodal trip planner that helps users to plan their transportation. It's an open-source project that's free to use and can be installed on various operating systems, including Fedora CoreOS. This tutorial will guide you on how to install OpenTripPlanner on Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing OpenTripPlanner, it's essential to update the system to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
$ sudo dnf update
OpenTripPlanner requires Java and a servlet container to run, and Tomcat is an excellent choice for the servlet container. To install Java and Tomcat, run the following command:
$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk tomcat
The latest version of OpenTripPlanner can be downloaded from the official website (https://www.opentripplanner.org/). Once you've downloaded the file, unpack it using the following command:
$ tar -xzf otp-VERSION.tar.gz
Replace VERSION with the version number of the file you've downloaded.
After unpacking the file, you should see a directory named otp-VERSION. Move this directory to /var/lib/tomcat/webapps using the following command:
$ sudo mv otp-VERSION /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/otp
To start Tomcat, run the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start tomcat
Once Tomcat has started, you can access OpenTripPlanner by visiting http://SERVER_IP:8080/otp in your web browser, where SERVER_IP is the IP address of the Fedora CoreOS instance.
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install OpenTripPlanner on Fedora CoreOS. OpenTripPlanner is an essential tool for anyone who needs to plan multimodal transportation. With the instructions provided here, you can easily set up OpenTripPlanner and get started with planning your transportation routes.
