= Quickstart for Installing Gerrit on Linux
|
|
|
|
This quickstart shows you how to install Gerrit on a Linux machine.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
The installation steps provided in this quickstart are for
|
|
demonstration purposes only. They are not intended for use in a production
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
For a more detailed installation guide, see
|
|
link:install.html[Standalone Daemon Installation Guide].
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
== Before you begin
|
|
|
|
To complete this quickstart, you need:
|
|
|
|
. A Unix-based server such as any of the Linux flavors or BSD.
|
|
. Java SE Runtime Environment version 1.8 or later.
|
|
|
|
== Download Gerrit
|
|
|
|
From the Linux machine on which you want to install Gerrit:
|
|
|
|
. Open a terminal window.
|
|
. Download the Gerrit archive. See
|
|
link:https://gerrit-releases.storage.googleapis.com/index.html[Gerrit Code
|
|
Review - Releases] for a list of available archives.
|
|
|
|
The steps in this quickstart used Gerrrit 2.14.2, which you can download using
|
|
a command such as:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
wget https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.14.2.war
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you want to build and install Gerrit from the source files, see
|
|
link:dev-readme.html[Developer Setup].
|
|
|
|
== Install and initialize Gerrit
|
|
|
|
From the command line, type the following:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
java -jar gerrit*.war init --batch --dev -d ~/gerrit_testsite
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
The preceding command uses two parameters:
|
|
|
|
* `--batch`. This parameter assigns default values to a variety of Gerrit
|
|
configuration options. To learn more about these configuration options, see
|
|
link:config-gerrit.html[Configuration].
|
|
* `--dev`. This parameter configures the server to use the authentication
|
|
option, `DEVELOPMENT_BECOME_ANY_ACCOUNT`. This authentication type makes it
|
|
easy for you to switch between different users to explore how Gerrit works.
|
|
To learn more about setting up Gerrit for development, see
|
|
link:dev-readme.html[Developer Setup].
|
|
|
|
This command displays a number of messages in the terminal window. The following
|
|
is an example of these messages:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
Generating SSH host key ... rsa(simple)... done
|
|
Initialized /home/gerrit/gerrit_testsite
|
|
Executing /home/gerrit/gerrit_testsite/bin/gerrit.sh start
|
|
Starting Gerrit Code Review: OK
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
The last message you should see is `Starting Gerrit Code Review: OK`. This
|
|
message informs you that the Gerrit service is now running.
|
|
|
|
== Update the listen URL
|
|
|
|
Another recommended task is to change the URL that Gerrit listens to from `*`
|
|
to `localhost`. This change helps prevent outside connections from contacting
|
|
the instance.
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
git config --file ~/gerrit_testsite/etc/gerrit.config httpd.listenUrl 'http://localhost:8080'
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
== Restart the Gerrit service
|
|
|
|
You must restart the Gerrit service for your authentication type and listen URL
|
|
changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
~/gerrit_testsite/bin/gerrit.sh restart
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
== Viewing Gerrit
|
|
|
|
At this point, you have a basic installation of Gerrit. You can view this
|
|
installation by opening a browser and entering the following URL:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
http://localhost:8080
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
== Next steps
|
|
|
|
Through this quickstart, you now have a simple version of Gerrit running on your
|
|
Linux machine. You can use this installation to explore the UI and become
|
|
familiar with some of Gerrit's features. For a more detailed installation guide,
|
|
see link:install.html[Standalone Daemon Installation Guide].
