MongooseIM is an open-source messaging platform that is designed to be highly scalable and fault-tolerant. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongooseIM on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin installing MongooseIM, it is recommended that you have the following:
Before we can start installing MongooseIM, we need to make sure that our Ubuntu Server is up to date. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
MongooseIM is built on top of the Erlang programming language, so we need to install it first. Run the following command to install Erlang:
sudo apt install erlang
Once you have installed Erlang, we can proceed to the next step.
Next, we need to download the MongooseIM package from the official website. Run the following command to download the package:
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/mongooseim/mongooseim_3.5.1+0.g7e2a28e~focal_amd64.deb
Note: Make sure to replace 3.5.1+0.g7e2a28e~focal_amd64.deb with the latest version available on the website.
After downloading the MongooseIM package, we need to install it. Run the following command to install MongooseIM:
sudo dpkg -i mongooseim_3.5.1+0.g7e2a28e~focal_amd64.deb
This command will install MongooseIM on your Ubuntu Server.
Finally, we can start MongooseIM with the following command:
sudo systemctl start mongooseim
You can also check the status of MongooseIM by running:
sudo systemctl status mongooseim
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MongooseIM on your Ubuntu Server Latest. Now you can start using this powerful messaging platform to build scalable and fault-tolerant applications.
