If you’re interested in event-driven architecture and blockchain, WeEvent is an excellent tool to explore. This blog will guide you through the process of installing WeEvent via Docker and Bash, along with troubleshooting tips to ensure you’re off to a great start!

What You Need

Before we dive into the installation process, let’s discuss the prerequisites:

• Docker: Make sure you have Docker installed on your machine.
• Bash: A compatible shell for running scripts (Linux or MacOS recommended).
• Java: Version 1.8 or higher.
• Gradle: Version 4.10 or compatible.
• Node.js: Version 10.16 or higher.
• IntelliJ IDEA: An IDE to help in coding and project management.

Installation Steps

There are two primary methods to install WeEvent: using Docker or Bash. Choose whichever method suits your environment best.

Using Docker

If you prefer using Docker, execute the following commands in your terminal:

$ docker pull weevent/weevent:latest
$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 weevent/weevent:latest root run.sh

Here’s a quick analogy: think of Docker like a virtual box that contains the WeEvent application and all its dependencies. By running the commands above, you are effectively placing this box on your computer and then opening it, allowing you to access WeEvent via your web browser.

Using Bash

If you would rather utilize Bash, download the WeEvent tarball and run the installation script:

$ wget https://download.weevent.org/weevent-1.6.0.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf weevent-1.6.0.tar.gz
$ ./install-all.sh -p /usr/local/weevent

In this case, the tarball is like a gift package containing everything you need to set up WeEvent. By unwrapping it (extracting), you make all the tools accessible and ready for use on your machine.

Accessing WeEvent

After successful installation, you can access WeEvent by navigating to this link in your web browser. This allows you to publish your first event!

Troubleshooting

Having trouble getting WeEvent up and running? Here are a few tips to help you troubleshoot common issues:

• Make sure Docker is running if you’re using the Docker method. You can check this by running $ docker ps to see if the WeEvent container is listed.
• Check network configurations if you can’t access the specified URL. Firewall and network settings may be blocking access.
• If errors persist, review installation logs for any missing dependencies or errors during setup.
• Consider reinstalling WeEvent by following the installation steps again to ensure everything is properly configured.
