Setup TeamCity on Linux

There are two ways to install TeamCity

1. bash.tar.gz distribution

I perfer the distribution one.

Before you start, make sure you have Java installed. You can check by running java -version in the terminal.

Download the latest version from here, or

wget https://download.jetbrains.com/teamcity/TeamCity-2023.05.2.tar.gz

Extract the file

tar -xfz TeamCity-2023.05.2.tar.gz

Run the server

cd TeamCity/bin
./runAll.sh start

You can use ./runAll.sh stop to stop the server.

Download the agent from the server page (look for it by yourself).

Extract the file
