How to Install Sourcehut on OpenSUSE Latest

Sourcehut is a web-based software development platform that provides a suite of tools for managing code, continuous integration, and other software development tasks. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Sourcehut on the OpenSUSE Linux distribution.

Prerequisites

Before we start, you will need the following:

Step 1: Install Git

The first step is to install Git on your OpenSUSE machine. Git is a distributed version control system that is required to install and use Sourcehut. To install Git, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo zypper install git

Step 2: Clone the Sourcehut Repository

Next, we need to clone the Sourcehut repository to our local machine. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc

This command will download the Sourcehut repository to your local machine. You can change the name of the repository to any name of your choice.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Before we can start using Sourcehut, we need to install its dependencies. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo zypper install openssl-devel libsodium-devel

This command installs the necessary libraries that Sourcehut requires to function.

Step 4: Build and Install Sourcehut

Once the dependencies are installed, we can compile and install Sourcehut on our machine. To do this, navigate to the location where you cloned the Sourcehut repository and run the following commands:

cd scdoc
make
sudo make install

This will build and install Sourcehut on your OpenSUSE machine.

Step 5: Verify Installation

Once the installation is complete, you can verify that Sourcehut is installed correctly by running the following command:

scdoc --version

If Sourcehut is installed correctly, you will see the version number displayed on your terminal.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sourcehut on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use this web-based software development platform to manage your code, continuous integration, and other software development tasks.
