Gerrit is a web-based code review tool that supports Git repositories. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Gerrit on FreeBSD Latest.
Connect to your FreeBSD Latest server using SSH.
Update your package manager:
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install mysql57-server
sudo sysrc mysql_enable=YES
sudo service mysql-server start
sudo /usr/local/bin/mysql_secure_installation
sudo pkg install openjdk8
java -version
sudo pkg install git
git --version
wget https://gerrit-releases.storage.googleapis.com/gerrit-<version>.war
Replace <version>
with the latest version of Gerrit. For example, if the latest version is 3.4.0, the command should be:
wget https://gerrit-releases.storage.googleapis.com/gerrit-3.4.0.war
sudo mkdir /var/gerrit
sudo mv gerrit-<version>.war /var/gerrit/gerrit.war
sudo pw user add gerrit -c "Gerrit Code Review" -d /var/gerrit -s /usr/sbin/nologin
sudo chown -R gerrit:gerrit /var/gerrit
sudo su - gerrit -c "java -jar /var/gerrit/gerrit.war init --batch --no-auto-start"
sudo su - gerrit -c "/var/gerrit/bin/gerrit.sh start"
Open a web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip:8080
You will be prompted to create a new account.
Once you have created an account, login to Gerrit.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Gerrit on FreeBSD Latest!
