Install Bibledit Cloud on CentOS

Follow the steps below to install Bibledit Cloud on CentOS 7 and 8. It needs basic knowledge about working with CentOS Server.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Update the software sources:
    sudo yum update
  3. For CentOS 7 install and activate a newer compiler:
    sudo yum install centos-release-sclsudo yum install devtoolset-7-gcc-c++sudo scl enable devtoolset-7 bash
  4. Install the software that Bibledit Cloud relies on:
    sudo yum install autoconf automake gcc gcc-c++ gcc-toolset-10-gcc-c++ libtool git zip unzip pkgconfig libcurl-devel openssl-devel curl make poppler-utils libxml2-devel
  5. Download the most recent mimetic library from http://www.codesink.org/download/mimetic-0.9.8.tar.gz.
  6. Unpack the downloaded mimetic library:
    tar xf mimetic-0.9.8.tar.gz
  7. Change to the directory:
    cd mimetic-0.9.8
  8. Build and install the mimetic library:
    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make
    This takes a while. There will be many technical messages and warnings, but there should be no errors.
    sudo make install
  9. Go back to the home directory:
    cd
  10. Download a recent version of Bibledit Cloud from https://github.com/bibledit/cloud/releases.
  11. Unpack the downloaded Bibledit Cloud in folder bibledit:
    mkdir -p bibledittar xf bibledit-5.0.9xx.tar.gz -C bibledit --strip-components=1
  12. Change to the directory:
    cd bibledit
  13. Build Bibledit Cloud:
    ./configure
    make
    This takes a while. There will be many technical messages, but there should be no errors.
  14. For CentOS 7 deactivate the previously activated compiler:
    exit
  15. Open port 8080 in the firewall:
    sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp --permanentsudo firewall-cmd --reload
  16. Start Bibledit Cloud:
    ./bibledit &
