Installing Review Board Gateway¶

Requirements¶

To serve repositories with rb-gateway, you’ll need:

• Git (for serving Git repositories)

• Mercurial (for serving Mercurial repositories)

Installing the Binary¶

rb-gateway is currently distributed as a standalone binary. Installation consists of a few simple steps:

1. Download the latest version of rb-gateway, place the binary somewhere on your server (for example, on Linux, /usr/local/bin/rb-gateway), and make it executable.

2. Create a directory for rb-gateway to store authentication token and webhook data. On Linux, a good place for this would be /var/lib/rb-gateway.

3. Create the configuration file.

4. Set up rb-gateway to run as a service.

For example, to get started quickly on Linux:

$ sudo curl https://www.reviewboard.org/downloads/rbgateway/latest/linux_amd64/ \
       -O /usr/local/bin/rb-gateway
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rb-gateway
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/rb-gateway
$ sudo mkdir /etc/rb-gateway
$ sudo vim /etc/rb-gateway/config.json
