How to Install Metabase on Linux Mint Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Metabase on a Linux Mint system.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Update Packages

Start by updating the packages on your system. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Step 2: Install MySQL

Metabase requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will be using MySQL as our database. Install MySQL using the following command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

After installation, start the MySQL service and set it to start at boot using the following command:

sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql

Step 3: Create a Database

Create a new database and user for Metabase using the following command with root access to the MySQL console:

sudo mysql -u root

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.

CREATE DATABASE metabase_db;
CREATE USER metabase_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'metabase_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON metabase_db.* TO metabase_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'metabase_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 4: Download and Install Metabase

Download the latest version of Metabase from the official website https://metabase.com/start/. You can use your preferred method to download the file to your system. In this tutorial, we will use wget to download the file:

wget https://downloads.metabase.com/v0.41.3/metabase.jar -O metabase.jar 

Once downloaded, move the downloaded .jar file to /opt/metabase/ directory using the following command:

sudo mv metabase.jar /opt/metabase/

Step 5: Create a Systemd Service

Create a new systemd service for Metabase using your favorite editor.

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/metabase.service

Copy and paste the following content into the editor:

[Unit]
Description=Metabase

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /opt/metabase/metabase.jar
Restart=always
User=metabase

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save and exit the editor.

Step 6: Start and Enable the Service

Start the Metabase service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start metabase

Enable the service to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl enable metabase

Check the status of the service to see if it is running:

sudo systemctl status metabase

Step 7: Access the Metabase Dashboard

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access the Metabase Dashboard.
