Prerequisites

The first thing that we got to do is clone the repository that contains the software Linux-Auto-Customizer. This software consists in a set of scripts to automatically install dependencies, libraries and programs to a Linux Environment. It can be used in many distros, but in this guide we suppose that our environment is Ubuntu Linux. It may be the same or similar instructions in related distros.

We can clone the repository anywhere, for example in our HOME folder:

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/AleixMT/Linux-Auto-Customizer
cd Linux-Auto-Customizer
bash src/core/install.sh -v -o customizer

The previous commands will install the software, so it can be accessed using the link customizer-install and customizer-uninstall software if everything is okay.

Resolving dependencies

In the repository execute the next orders:

sudo customizer-install -v -o psql
bash cutomizer-install -v -o jdk pgadmin postman ideau  # ideac

This will install:

  • JDK8: Java development kit. Contains the interpreter for the Java programming language java and the tool to manipulate the certificates used in the java VM keytool
  • psql: PostGreSQL, SQL DataBase engine
  • IntelliJ IDEA Community / IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate: IDE with a high customization via plugins to work with Java. The ultimate edition needs a license; The community version, which is commented out, has also all the required features to work with the project.
  • pgadmin: Graphical viewer of the PostGreSQL DataBase using a web browser.
  • postman: UI used to manage API calls and requests. Useful for testing and for keeping record of interesting API calls. Has cloud synchronization, environments variables, workflows, etc.

This will set up the software with some new soft links and aliases, which will be populated in your environment by writing to the .bashrc of your HOME folder.

Installation

Setting up database connection

Log in as the postgres user:

sudo su - postgres

Then create the user that the installation will use:

createuser --interactive --pwprompt

Notice that there are other ways of doing this. You can also do it directly by submitting orders to the database from this user, but in this case it is easier if you have this binary wrapper. It will ask for a password, consider this the database password.

Then we need to create the database for our software:

createdb eChempad
Connect to the database manually using terminal 
psql -d eChempad -h localhost -p 5432 -U amarine
