For this lab, we are going to use a Bitnami MEAN Stack that provides a complete development environment for MongoDB and Node.js that can be deployed in one click. It includes the latest stable release of MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js, Git, PHP and RockMongo.
Step1: use the following commands to download and install the MEAN stack on Linux. The downloaded file will be named 'bitnami-mean-linux-installer.run'.
$ sudo yum install wget -y $ wget -O bitnami-mean-linux-installer.run https://bitnami.com/stack/mean/download_latest/linux-x64
To begin the installation process, give the installer executable permissions and then execute the installation file, as shown below:
$ chmod 755 bitnami-mean-linux-installer.run $ ./bitnami-mean-linux-installer.run follow the prompts and install Python, Git, ImageMagic, RockMongo, PHP provide name for a root folder for MEAN (choose any name) provide strong password for Mongo (choose any password) provide yes for launching Bitnami MEAN
Step 2: Enable firewall to have these ports 8080 and 3000 added
$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp $ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3000/tcp $ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Navigate to http://:8080 (the IP address of the MEAN VM) in your browser. Note that it doesn’t return anything; that’s because the Virtual Cloud Network needs to open certain ports for the MEAN stack to work.
Step 3: click on Virtual Cloud Network and then the VCN you created above, named MEAN-VCN. Click on Security Lists on the left navigation bar for the VCN. Then click on the Default Security List for the MEAN-VCN. Here you need to open certain ports. Click on edit all rules.
Step 4: click on +Add Rule twice and add the following values as shown below under the Allow Rules for Ingress. Click on Save Security List Rules at the bottom.
Navigate to http://:8080 (the IP address of the MEAN VM) in your browser. Now you should see the following page:
