How to install Taurus in Centos

[ishtiaque hussain]

I'm very new to Centos. Could you please help me install taurus? Below is what I tried and got so far: Thanks!

Hi,

You don't need python-tk on linux anymore, latest update fixed this.

CentOS has slightly different package names. So you need to find the CentOS-specific instructions to install python-pip and Java.

I've found this page so far: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-centos-rhel-linux-install-pipclient/

And it says that you need to enable special repo first: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/fedora-sl-centos-redhat6-enable-epel-repo/

Let's go through this process and compose instruction for CentOS, I'll add it to Taurus docs page.

Thanks for the direction. I've read few other blogs, followed their instructions and was able to install bzt for my CentOS 7. Only think I see that it installed BZT version 0.4.1. Isn't there a newer version available already. I tried to upgrade using 'sudo pip install --upgrade bzt', but still it got me v0.4.1.

Below are the steps I followed:

1. use 'uname -a' to verify the system if it's 32 bit or 64 bit machine.

[Ref: http://www.tecmint.com/enable-rpmforge-repository/]

2. Get corresponding EPEL (Extra Package for Enterprise Linux) for CentOS (Community Enterprise OS) 7, and enable it.

$ sudo wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

$ sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

[Ref: http://www.tecmint.com/how-to-enable-epel-repository-for-rhel-centos-6-5/]

Optional Step: Verify EPEL repository

$ sudo yum repolist

For example, this has a line like this "epel/x86_64           Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64"

3. Install python-pip

$ sudo yum -y install python-pip

[Ref: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-centos-rhel-linux-install-pipclient/]

4. Install corresponding libraries for CentOS

$ sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 python-devel.x86_64 libxml2-devel.x86_64 libxslt-devel.x86_64 zlib.x86_64 gcc.x86_64

You could search by 'yum search xxxxx' where 'xxxxx' represents the name of the library. I took the required libraries to search from 'http://gettaurus.org/docs/Installation/#Linux'

Added gcc installation as it was not installed 

5. Install bzt

$ sudo pip install bzt

Andrey, 

Would you like me to create a Docker image to prevent install issues?

Hi,

Not everyone will use docker so it is out of the scope for Taurus project. But if you see the value for it - that would be great if you'll share your knowledge with the public.

Yeah, I realized it later. We are good then. 

I ran a test script and it created the Blazemeter report.

Thanks,
