Gigablast is an open source search engine project which can be used to index and search large amounts of data from various sources. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Gigablast on a Fedora Server latest version.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Before installing Gigablast, we need to install the following dependencies:
git: A version control tool used to download the Gigablast source code.make: A tool used to build and compile the source code.gcc: A compiler used to compile the Gigablast source code.To install these dependencies, open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo dnf install git make gcc
After installing the required dependencies, we can download the latest version of Gigablast from their official repository using the git clone command:
git clone https://github.com/gigablast/open-source-search-engine.git
Once the source code has been downloaded, navigate to the open-source-search-engine directory using the following command:
cd open-source-search-engine
Now you can compile the source code using the make command:
make
This process may take several minutes. Once it's completed, the compiled binaries can be found in the gigablast directory.
To start Gigablast, navigate to the gigablast directory and execute the following command:
./gb
This will start the Gigablast server, which can be accessed by navigating to localhost:8000 using a web browser.
Additionally, you can customize your search engine by modifying the configurations in the conf directory.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install Gigablast on a Fedora Server latest version. Now you should have a working search engine that can be used to index and search large amounts of data.
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!
