OpenSearch is an open source search and analytics engine used to build specialized search engines. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OpenSearch on Manjaro in a few simple steps.
Before beginning, ensure that you have administrative privileges on your Manjaro machine.
OpenSearch requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run. Install it on your Manjaro machine using your package manager. Open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu jre11-openjdk
Download the latest version of OpenSearch from their website at https://opensearch.org/downloads.html. Alternatively, use the following terminal command to download and extract the latest version:
sudo curl https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch/1.0.0/opensearch-1.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz | sudo tar -xz -C /usr/share/
Note: Replace 1.0.0 with the version you want to download.
Create a user for OpenSearch to run as, using the following command:
sudo useradd opensearch
Change the ownership of the extracted directory to the opensearch user using the following command:
sudo chown -R opensearch:opensearch /usr/share/opensearch-1.0.0/
Start OpenSearch using the following command:
sudo -u opensearch /usr/share/opensearch-1.0.0/bin/opensearch
You should now see OpenSearch is running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenSearch on Manjaro. You can now configure OpenSearch according to your requirements and start building specialized search engines.
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!
