Sourcegraph is a powerful and flexible tool designed to help developers understand and navigate their codebases more efficiently. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Sourcegraph on Linux Mint Latest.
Before you can install Sourcegraph, you need to make sure that your Linux Mint machine meets the following requirements:

$ git clone https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph
Navigate to the sourcegraph directory and copy the config.example.yml file to config.yml.
$ cd sourcegraph
$ cp config.example.yml config.yml
Next, open the config.yml file in your preferred text editor and customize it to your needs. You'll need to provide values for the following fields:
externalURL: The URL that will be used to access Sourcegraph.username: The username that will be used to log in to Sourcegraph.password: The password that will be used to log in to Sourcegraph.postgresPassword: The password that will be used to access the PostgreSQL database.Once you've customized your configuration, you can start Sourcegraph by running the following Docker Compose command:
$ docker-compose up -d
This command will start all of the required components of Sourcegraph, including the web server, the database, and the search indexer. The -d flag tells Docker Compose to run the containers in the background.
After the containers have started, you should be able to access Sourcegraph by navigating to the URL you provided in the externalURL field of your config.yml file in your web browser.
