Couch installation with source code

Step 1

Install required packages for couchdb for manual installation.

yum install autoconf autoconf-archive automake curl-devel help2man js-devel libicu-devel libtool perl-Test-Harness -y

if any fails then install epel install that failed dependencies.

yum install epel-release

Step 2

Download the erlang  rpm package cause source is not working perfectly to me so i decide to install rpm.

wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang/esl-erlang/FLAVOUR_1_general/esl-erlang_19.3.6-1~centos~6_amd64.rpm

now run the below command to start install. 

Note: couchdb is required 20 or below erlang 

rpm -Uvh  esl-erlang_19.3.6-1~centos~6_amd64.rpm

Step 3

Now download couchDB from the source

wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/couchdb/source/2.1.1/apache-couchdb-2.1.1.tar.gz

untar the package with following command

tar xzf apache-couchdb-2.1.1.tar.gz

after that goto that directory and start configure it. 

Note: there is no need of prefix or anything else in above 2.0 version it will load the package in rel in the configuration folder.

 cd apache-couchdb-2.1.1

 now run the command below mention to configure.

./configure

then run make

 make

and then run make release it will do the mail installation.

make release








if you  face any issue on this just install couchdb with yum and try it will work.

now couchdb installed successfully. we can move the directory to any where to start.

mv apache-couchdb-2.1.1/rel/couchdb /opt


start the couchdb from bin directory with below command

./couchdb &

Step 4

If we have multiple couchdb on same server then we need to made one change vm.args in couchdb/etc location. I have mentioned it below.

# Multiple CouchDBs running on the same machine can use couchdb1@, couchdb2@,
# etc.
-name couchdb1@127.0.0.1

after that try to run the both couchdb in same server.
