In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Flume on FreeBSD Latest. Flume is an open-source distributed system for collecting, aggregating, and transporting large amounts of streaming data from various sources.
Before installing any software on your FreeBSD system, it's always a good idea to update the system by running the following command.
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
The first step to install Flume is to download the latest version of Flume. You can download it directly from the official website using the following command.
wget http://ftp.wayne.edu/apache/flume/1.9.0/apache-flume-1.9.0-bin.tar.gz
After downloading the Flume binary file, the next step is to extract it using the following command.
tar -xf apache-flume-1.9.0-bin.tar.gz
To use Flume, you need to set some environment variables. You can set them by adding the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file.
export FLUME_HOME=/path/to/apache-flume-1.9.0-bin
export PATH="$PATH:$FLUME_HOME/bin"
Once you’ve added these lines, run the following command to update your environment variables.
source ~/.bashrc
To test if Flume is successfully installed on your FreeBSD system, run the following command.
flume-ng version
The output should show you the version of Flume you’ve installed.
In this tutorial, we went through the steps to install Flume on FreeBSD Latest. Flume is a powerful tool for collecting, aggregating, and transporting large amounts of streaming data from various sources. You can now use Flume to start ingesting your streaming 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!
