Ubuntu Linux
Start here to build install Pushkin and its dependencies on Ubuntu Linux.
These instructions were created using Ubuntu 18.04 and the apt package manager. They should generalize to other Linux distributions and package managers, however.
Skip to section
Install curl
First, ensure that you have curl installed, as this will be necessary to download Node.js. If it isn't installed, you can install it using the following commands:
1
$ sudo apt update
2
$ sudo apt install curl
Copied!
Install Node.js
To install the latest version of Node.js , follow these instructions at NodeSource. They are copied below for your convenience, but you should follow the link in case their instructions have changed.
1
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
2
$ sudo apt install -y nodejs
Copied!
Install and configure Yarn
You will next want to install the Yarn package manager. Official instructions (copied below for convenience) are available here.
1
$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
2
$ echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
3
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install yarn
Copied!
To allow Yarn to install pushkin-cli globally, run the following steps, based on this Stack Overflow solution.
Run the following:
1
$ yarn config set prefix ~/.yarn
2
$ echo 'export PATH="$PATH:`yarn global bin`"' >> ~/.bashrc
3
$ source ~/.bashrc
Copied!
Install Yalc
Install Yalc globally.
1
$ yarn global add yalc
Copied!
Install pushkin-cli
Next, install the pushkin-cli package globally.
1
$ yarn global add pushkin-cli
Copied!
Confirm that pushkin-cli is installed by running:
1
$ pushkin --help
Copied!
You should get a list of commands with some documentation for each.
Confirm that you have version
2.0.0 or later by running:1
$ pushkin --version
Copied!
and reading the output.
Install and configure Docker Engine
1
$ sudo apt update
2
$ sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common
3
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Copied!
Verify the fingerprint of the key by running this command:
1
$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
Copied!
Your output should look like this:
1
pub rsa4096 2017-02-22 [SCEA]
2
9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
3
uid [ unknown] Docker Release (CE deb) <[email protected]>
4
sub rsa4096 2017-02-22 [S]
Copied!
Next, add the repository and install Docker Engine.
1
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
2
$ sudo apt update
3
$ sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Copied!
Check that Docker Engine is installed correctly by running:
1
$ sudo docker run hello-world
Copied!
If Docker Engine installed correctly, this should generate some output, including:
1
Hello from Docker!
2
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
Copied!
Next, follow these post-installation instructions (copied below for convenience) to manage Docker as a non-root user. (You can ignore the rest of the post-installation instructions.)
1
$ sudo groupadd docker
2
$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
3
$ newgrp docker
4
$ docker run hello-world
Copied!
Install and configure Docker Compose
1
$ sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
2
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
3
$ docker-compose --version
Copied!
