Tigase is a popular XMPP server that supports various features such as multi-user chat, message archiving, and many more. In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install Tigase on the latest Fedora server version.
Before proceeding, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Tigase requires Java runtime environment to work properly. We will start by installing the OpenJDK 8.
sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
Once installed, you can verify the installed version by running:
java -version
To install Tigase, we will use the package manager provided on their website. We will also install the latest version of Tigase.
wget https://projects.tigase.org/attachments/download/2406/tigase-server-8.1.0-b4394-dist-max.tar.gz
tar -xvf tigase-server-8.1.0-b4394-dist-max.tar.gz
To run Tigase, we need to navigate to the extracted directory and run the following command:
cd tigase-server-8.1.0-b4394-dist-max
./scripts/tigase.sh start etc/tigase.conf
This will start Tigase. You can verify if Tigase is running by looking at the log files, which are located in the logs/ directory.
