How do I install Rundeck from source (i.e., the github repo)?

问题

I am trying to install Rundeck from source. I have tried three different distributions of Linux (a Debian, Red Hat, and SUSE distribution). All have had failures. I install the make command, Java and Git before proceeding. The "make" command is what fails on every distribution of Linux that I have tried. The "./gradlew build" command was no more successful either.

I then run these commands:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck.git
mv rundeck /opt/
cd /opt/rundeck
make

I always get a failure. I tried Java 8 and Java 11. But the problem happens with either.

Here is the error I see on a Debian distribution:

Task :core:javadoc
/opt/rundeck/core/src/main/java/com/dtolabs/rundeck/plugins/jobs/JobOptionImpl.java:134: error: cannot find symbol
    static private String produceValuesList(JobOptionImplBuilder builder) {
                                            ^
  symbol:   class JobOptionImplBuilder
  location: class JobOptionImpl
1 error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':core:javadoc'.
> Javadoc generation failed. Generated Javadoc options file (useful for troubleshooting): '/opt/rundeck/core/build/tmp/javadoc/javadoc.options'

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

I expect the "make" command to not fail. I tried installing npm too, but that did not help. How do I install Rundeck from source? Which distribution of Linux would be easiest for this task?

回答1:

I replicated your issue and I saw the same error, you need to install the npm package, it works on Ubuntu 20.04 with the following steps:

1. Install npm:

sudo apt-get install npm

2. Install nodejs:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get -y install nodejs

3. Download the Rundeck source code from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck

4. Build Rundeck following these steps:

cd rundeck
./gradlew clean
./gradlew build -x test -x integrationTest

5. You'll see this. The WAR file is located at: rundeck/rundeckapp/build/libs/
