Installation on linux operating system

Apache CouchDB is a NoSQL database system that can run on Linux operating systems. Here are the steps to install CouchDB on a Linux system under Apache:

Check the system requirements: CouchDB requires Erlang and a few other dependencies to be installed on your Linux system before you can install it. Check the CouchDB documentation for the specific system requirements for your distribution.
Install the dependencies: Install Erlang and other dependencies using your distribution’s package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the command:

sudo apt-get install erlang libicu-dev libmozjs185-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

Download CouchDB: Download the latest version of CouchDB from the official website. Extract the downloaded archive to a directory of your choice.
Configure CouchDB: Change to the CouchDB directory and run the configure script:

cd apache-couchdb-x.y.z ./configure

This will configure CouchDB with the appropriate options for your system.

Build and install CouchDB: Build and install CouchDB using the make command:

make && sudo make install

Start CouchDB: Start the CouchDB server using the command:

sudo systemctl start couchdb

Verify CouchDB installation: Verify the installation by accessing the CouchDB web interface at http://localhost:5984/_utils/. You should see the Futon interface, which allows you to create and manage CouchDB databases.

That’s it! You have successfully installed CouchDB on your Linux system under Apache.
