How to Install Doozerd on MXLinux Latest

Doozerd is a distributed data store that provides a highly available, consistent, and durable way to store and retrieve key-value data. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Doozerd on MXLinux latest.

Prerequisites

To follow along with this tutorial, you'll need:

• Access to a terminal window on your MXLinux latest machine.
• A basic understanding of the Linux command line interface.

Step 1 - Install Go language

Doozerd is written in Go language, so we need to install the go compiler first.

1. Open a terminal window on your MXLinux machine.

2. Run the following command to add the Go repository to your system:

   echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
   

3. Next, update the package list and install Go by running:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt -t stretch-backports install golang-go
   

   This will install Go language in your system. You can verify the installation by running:

   go version
   

   It should display the installed Go version.

Step 2 - Install Doozerd

Now that Go language is installed, let's proceed to install Doozerd.

1. Open a terminal window and run the following command to clone Doozerd's GitHub repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ha/doozerd.git
   cd doozerd
   

2. Next, build Doozerd from source by running the following command:

   go build
   

   This will compile the Doozerd binaries and create a doozerd executable file.

3. Move the binary file to the /usr/local/bin directory by running the following command:

   sudo mv doozerd /usr/local/bin/
   

   This will move the executable to a system-wide location where it can be easily accessed.

Step 3 - Start Doozerd

Now that Doozerd is installed, let's start the Doozerd service.

1. Open a terminal window and run the following command to start the Doozerd service:

   sudo doozerd
   

2. Verify that Doozerd is running by running:

   doozerd ping
   

   If Doozerd is running, this command should output OK.
