Gearman is a powerful job server that allows you to distribute workloads across multiple machines. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps required to install Gearman on Manjaro.
Before we begin with the installation of Gearman, we must first ensure our system has all the necessary dependencies. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S gcc make gperf boost gtest
Now that all the dependencies are installed, let's download and install Gearman. To download Gearman, run the following command:
wget https://github.com/gearman/gearmand/releases/download/1.1.18/gearmand-1.1.18.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the files using:
tar -xzf gearmand-1.1.18.tar.gz
Change the directory to the extracted folder using:
cd gearmand-1.1.18
Now we are ready to compile and install Gearman. To do this, run the following commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
After the installation is complete, it's a good idea to verify everything is working as expected. We can do this by checking the version of Gearman installed. Enter the following command in terminal:
gearmand -V
This should display the version of Gearman that you have installed.
Gearman is now installed and ready to be used on your Manjaro machine. You can explore the different ways to use Gearman by consulting the official documentation at http://gearman.org/.
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!
