After the installation, verify the Java installation by checking the version:<\/p>\n
java -version<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Step 3: Create a SonarQube User<\/h2>\n
For security reasons, it is recommended to run SonarQube as a dedicated user. Create a user for SonarQube with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo useradd -r -s \/bin\/false sonarqube<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Step 4: Download SonarQube<\/h2>\n
Navigate to the SonarQube downloads page<\/a> and copy the link to the latest version of SonarQube. Then, use wget to download it:<\/p>\n
\r\ncd \/opt\r\nsudo wget https:\/\/binaries.sonarsource.com\/Distribution\/sonarqube\/sonarqube-9.8.0.zip\r\n            <\/code><\/pre>\n
After downloading, unzip the package:<\/p>\n
sudo unzip sonarqube-9.8.0.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n
Rename the extracted directory for easier access:<\/p>\n
sudo mv sonarqube-9.8.0 sonarqube<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Step 5: Configure SonarQube<\/h2>\n
Change the ownership of the SonarQube directory to the sonarqube user:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R sonarqube:sonarqube \/opt\/sonarqube<\/code><\/pre>\n
Edit the configuration file to set the database connection and other settings. Open the configuration file:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/opt\/sonarqube\/conf\/sonar.properties<\/code><\/pre>\n
Uncomment and set the database connection parameters according to your database configuration. For example:<\/p>\n
\r\nsonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql:\/\/localhost:3306\/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&rewriteBatchedStatements=true\r\nsonar.jdbc.username=your_db_username\r\nsonar.jdbc.password=your_db_password\r\n            <\/code><\/pre>\n<\/section>\n
\n
