= Quickstart for Installing Gerrit on Linux
|
|
|
|
This content explains how to install a basic instance of Gerrit on a Linux
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
This quickstart is provided for demonstration purposes only. The Gerrit instance
|
|
they install must not be used in a production environment.
|
|
|
|
Instead, to install a Gerrit production environment, see
|
|
link:install.html[Standalone Daemon Installation Guide].
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
== Before you start
|
|
|
|
Be sure you have:
|
|
|
|
. A Unix-based server, including any Linux flavor, MacOS, or Berkeley Software
|
|
Distribution (BSD).
|
|
. Java SE Runtime Environment 1.8 (or higher).
|
|
|
|
== Download Gerrit
|
|
|
|
From the Linux machine on which you want to install Gerrit:
|
|
|
|
. Open a terminal window.
|
|
. Download the desired Gerrit archive.
|
|
|
|
To view previous archives, see
|
|
link:https://gerrit-releases.storage.googleapis.com/index.html[Gerrit Code Review: Releases]. The steps below install Gerrit 2.15.1:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
wget https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.15.1.war
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
NOTE: To build and install Gerrit from the source files, see
|
|
link:dev-readme.html[Gerrit Code Review: Developer Setup].
|
|
|
|
== Install and initialize Gerrit
|
|
|
|
From the command line, enter:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
java -jar gerrit*.war init --batch --dev -d ~/gerrit_testsite
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
This command takes two parameters:
|
|
|
|
* `--batch` assigns default values to several Gerrit configuration
|
|
options. To learn more about these options, see
|
|
link:config-gerrit.html[Configuration].
|
|
* `--dev` configures the Gerrit server to use the authentication
|
|
option, `DEVELOPMENT_BECOME_ANY_ACCOUNT`, which enables 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[Gerrit Code Review: Developer Setup].
|
|
|
|
While this command executes, status messages are displayed in the terminal
|
|
window. For example:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
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 confirms that the Gerrit service is running:
|
|
|
|
`Starting Gerrit Code Review: OK`.
|
|
|
|
== Update the listen URL
|
|
|
|
To prevent outside connections from contacting your new Gerrit instance
|
|
(strongly recommended), change the URL on which Gerrit listens from `*` to
|
|
`localhost`. For example:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
To view your new basic installation of Gerrit, go to:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
http://localhost:8080
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
== Next steps
|
|
|
|
Now that you have a simple version of Gerrit running, use the installation to
|
|
explore the user interface and learn about Gerrit. For more detailed
|
|
installation instructions, see
|
|
link:[Standalone Daemon Installation Guide](install.html).
