I want to install openresty in my ubuntu

Question

I had downloaded ngx_openresty-1.2.6.6.tar.gz (stable release) from http://openresty.org/ and I had done these commands on terminal:

tar xzvf ngx_openresty-VERSION.tar.gz
cd ngx_openresty-VERSION/
./configure --with-luajit
make
make install

i was not able to install openresty in my computer. I belive that make install command doesn't works out, because it prompts me error when I go with make install.

(etc...+) ==== Installing LuaJIT 2.0.0 to /usr/local/openresty/luajit ==== mkdir -p /usr/local/openresty/luajit/bin /usr/local/openresty/luajit/lib /usr/local/openresty/luajit/include/luajit-2.0 /usr/local/openresty/luajit/share/man/man1 /usr/local/openresty/luajit/lib/pkgconfig /usr/local/openresty/luajit/share/luajit-2.0.0/jit /usr/local/openresty/luajit/share/lua/5.1 /usr/local/openresty/luajit/lib/lua/5.1 cd src && install -m 0755 luajit /usr/local/openresty/luajit/bin/luajit-2.0.0 install: cannot remove /usr/local/openresty/luajit/bin/luajit-2.0.0': Permission denied make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/ngx_openresty-1.2.6.6/build/LuaJIT-2.0.0' make: *** [install] Error 2

Please let me know the way to get openresty installed on Ubuntu.

Answer 1

You need permission to install under /usr/local directory.

try using sudo command as

sudo make install

NOTE: If it ask for password, enter your user password. If that doesn't work than

1. you need to install as root or

2. change installation directory to where you have access e.g echo $HOME

   ./configure --with-luajit  --prefix=$HOME
   
   make
   
   make install
   

Once it is install, follow "Getting Started" link on http://openresty.org/
