How to Install OSIAM on POP! OS Latest

OSIAM is a modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that simplifies user management and access control in distributed systems. If you are using POP! OS Latest and want to deploy OSIAM, this tutorial is for you. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of installing OSIAM on POP! OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have:

• A system running POP! OS Latest (version 20.10 or later)
• A user account with sudo privileges
• An active internet connection

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

OSIAM requires some software packages to be installed on your system. Open the terminal and run the following command to update the package list and install the required packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git curl openjdk-8-jdk postgresql

Step 2: Install OSIAM

To install OSIAM, you need to clone the repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/osiam/osiam.git

Once the cloning process is complete, run the following commands to build and package OSIAM:

cd osiam
./gradlew build

After the build process is finished, you will find the OSIAM package (osiam-server-dist.tar.gz) in the osiam-server-dist/build/distributions/ directory. Extract the package using the following command:

tar -xzvf osiam-server-dist.tar.gz

Step 3: Configure OSIAM

OSIAM needs some configuration files to run. Copy the default configuration files to the conf directory using the following commands:

cd osiam-server-dist-4.1.0
cp etc/osiam.properties conf/osiam.properties
cp etc/logback.xml conf/logback.xml

To configure the database, run the following commands:

sudo -u postgres createdb osiam
sudo -u postgres psql osiam < sql/osiam_postgres.sql

Edit the conf/osiam.properties file to define the database connection details:

osiam.database.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
osiam.database.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/osiam
osiam.database.user=postgres
osiam.database.password=your_postgres_password

Make sure to replace your_postgres_password with the actual password for the postgres user.

Step 4: Start OSIAM

To start OSIAM, run the following command:

./bin/osiam-server

OSIAM is now running on your system.
