What is YaCy?

YaCy is a free search engine that anyone can use to create a search portal for their intranet or to help search the public Internet. When you contribute to the global peering network, YaCy's scale is limited only by the number of users in the world and can index billions of websites. It is entirely decentralized, all users of the search engine network are equal, the network does not store user search requests and it is not possible for anyone to censor the content of the shared index.

We install dependencies

Bash

rokitoh@red-orbita:~/ $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

We download the software

Bash

rokitoh@red-orbita:~/ $ wget http://yacy.net/release/yacy_v1.5_20130613_9000.tar.gz

We decompress

Bash

rokitoh@red-orbita:~/ $ sudo tar xvf yacy_v1.5_20130613_9000.tar.gz -C /opt/

We give permissions

Bash

rokitoh@red-orbita:~/ $ sudo chown rokitoh /opt/yacy/ -R

rokitoh@red-orbita:~/ $ sudo chmod 775 /opt/yacy/ -R

We open the startup script

Bash

rokitoh@red-orbita:~/ $ vi /opt/yacy/startYACY.sh

We go to the end and below the following line:

Bash

echo » >> YaCy started as daemon process. Administration at http://localhost:$PORT << »

eval $cmdline

We add so that the URL is automatically opened with our browser

example:

text

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome http://localhost:$PORT
/usr/bin/firefox http://localhost:$PORT

We run the script

Bash

rokitoh@red-orbita:~/ $ /opt/yacy/startYACY.sh
