The sample project ,I’m referring is available in my bitbucket globally. In following steps we are gonna use maven as a primary build project tool for the sample java project. sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable rvice sudo systemctl start rvice Description=nexus service After=network.target Type=forking ExecStart=/opt/nexus/bin/nexus start ExecStop=/opt/nexus/bin/nexus stop User=nexus Restart=on-abort WantedBy=multi-user.targetĮnable the systemd service and start it. The extraction process creates two sibling directories: an application directory and a data directory, sometimes called the “Sonatype-work” directory.ģ.create a unit file ,that make nexus as systemd target service. $ java -version java version "1.8.0_60" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)Ģ.Download binary tar and extract it(common practice is to use /opt).

A Quick steps to setup nexus repository,ġ.Ensure you have java 8 or higher. Nexus is available as commercial and Open Source distribution. If you develop software, your builds can download dependencies from Nexus and can publish artifacts back to Nexus creating a great easy way to share artifacts within the organization. Nexus repository manager is used to manage software “artifacts” required for development. Nexus allows you to host your private build artifacts. With such a proxy the time to receive an artifact is reduced and it saves bandwidth. So you can host your own repositories, but also use Nexus as a proxy for public repositories. Improve collaboration – by providing a common platform to store,share and manage common component that used repeatedly by other developers and team.Įnhance Control – by providing a mechanism to observe,manage ,and govern component usage.Ī Nexus repository installation brings you such a repository for your company. Reduce build times – by proxying cloud repositories and caching components locally. The volume and velocity of components parts used in any software development process creates a ‘software supply chain’ and ,in that context ,a repository manager serves as a warehouse.

Let’s first understand the necessary of a Repository manager and how to extend its features in the whole development cycle.

I gonna exercise simple java source code to build out of it and use Nexus Repository Manager OSS as proxy and distribution repository to archive it.
