How to install GoAccess in CentOS 7

Once it is done, you shall download goaccess by running the following command. You can execute this action by running the following command.

[root@localhost opt]# wget http://tar.goaccess.io/goaccess-1.2.tar.gz

And then, you should extract downloaded tar file. Later you should enter into the extracted directory as follows.

[root@localhost opt]# tar -zxf goaccess-1.2.tar.gz
[root@localhost opt]# cd goaccess-1.2/

Once it is done, you should run “ ./configure” for preparing for the installation.

[root@localhost goaccess-1.2]# ./configure --enable-utf8 --enable-geoip=legacy

Once it is done, follow it up by running the make install command for preparing the stage for installation of GoAccess.

[root@localhost goaccess-1.2]# make install
./bin2c resources/tpls.html src/tpls.h tpls
./bin2c resources/css/bootstrap.min.css src/bootstrapcss.h bootstrap_css
