In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Manticore Search, an open-source search engine, on FreeBSD.
Before we begin, make sure your FreeBSD system is up-to-date, and you have root access.
To install Manticore Search on FreeBSD, you need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo pkg install gcc g++ cmake make mysql-client-6.0
This command will install the necessary packages to compile and install Manticore Search.
Next, you need to clone the Manticore Search repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch.git /usr/local/src/manticoresearch
This command will clone the Manticore Search repository in /usr/local/src/manticoresearch directory.
Now, navigate to the cloned directory and build Manticore Search using the following command:
cd /usr/local/src/manticoresearch
sudo cmake . && make && sudo make install
This will build and install Manticore Search on your FreeBSD system.
Next, create a configuration file for Manticore Search. You can use the default configuration file as a template:
sudo cp /usr/local/etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf.dist /usr/local/etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf
Now, edit the configuration file and add your desired settings:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf
Finally, start Manticore Search using the following command:
sudo service manticore start
You can check the status of Manticore Search using the following command:
sudo service manticore status
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Manticore Search on FreeBSD. You can now use it to index and search your 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!
