How to Install Buildbot on OpenSUSE Latest

Buildbot is an open-source framework for continuous integration and deployment. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Buildbot on OpenSUSE Latest using the following steps:

1. Install required dependencies
2. Install Buildbot
3. Configure Buildbot

1. Install Required Dependencies

First of all, we need to ensure that all required dependencies are installed on our system. Run the following command to install them:

sudo zypper install python3-devel python3-virtualenv python3-pip
sudo zypper install gcc make automake autoconf libtool
sudo zypper install boost boost-devel

This will install Python 3, Virtualenv, pip, and other required development libraries on your OpenSUSE system.

2. Install Buildbot

Once we have installed dependencies, we can proceed with installing Buildbot. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Create a new directory to install Buildbot

mkdir buildbot
cd buildbot

2. Create a new Python virtual environment to install Buildbot into it

virtualenv -p python3 env

3. Activate the virtual environment

source env/bin/activate

4. Install Buildbot package using pip

pip3 install buildbot[bundle]

Buildbot is now installed on your system.

3. Configure Buildbot

To configure Buildbot, follow these steps:

1. Create a configuration directory for Buildbot

mkdir ~/bb-master
cd ~/bb-master

2. Initialize a Buildbot master using the following command:

buildbot create-master

This command will generate a sample configuration file that we can use as a starting point.

3. Edit the configuration file by opening master.cfg in your favorite text editor and update the information according to your system settings.

4. Start Buildbot master using the following command:

buildbot start

5. Access the Buildbot web interface by opening http://localhost:8010 in your web browser.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Buildbot on your OpenSUSE Latest system!
