Deploy Studio

This topic describes how to deploy Studio locally by Docker, RPM, tar and DEB package.

Note

You can also try some functions online in Studio.

RPM-based Studio

Prerequisites

Before you deploy RPM-based Studio, you must confirm that:

• The NebulaGraph services are deployed and started. For more information, see NebulaGraph Database Manual.

• The Linux distribution is CentOS, install lsof.

• Before the installation starts, the following ports are not occupied.

  Port	Description
  7001	Web service provided by Studio.

Install

1. Select and download the RPM package according to your needs. It is recommended to select the latest version. Common links are as follows:

   Installation package	Checksum	Nebula version
   nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.rpm	nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.rpm.sha256	3.0.0

2. Use sudo rpm -i <rpm> to install RPM package.

   For example, install Studio 3.2.2, use the following command. The default installation path is /usr/local/nebula-graph-studio.

   sudo rpm -i nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.rpm
   

   You can also install it to the specified path using the following command:

   $ sudo rpm -i nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.rpm --prefix=<path> 
   

   When the screen returns the following message, it means that the PRM-based Studio has been successfully started.

   Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nebula-graph-studio.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/nebula-graph-studio.service.
   

3. When Studio is started, use http://ip address:7001 to get access to Studio.

   If you can see the Config Server page on the browser, Studio is started successfully.

   

Uninstall

You can uninstall Studio using the following command:

sudo rpm -e nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64

Exception handling

If the automatic start fails during the installation process or you want to manually start or stop the service, use the following command:

• Start the service manually

  bash /usr/local/nebula-graph-studio/scripts/rpm/start.sh
  

• Stop the service manually

  bash /usr/local/nebula-graph-studio/scripts/rpm/stop.sh
  

If you encounter an error bind EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:7001 when starting the service, you can use the following command to check port 7001 usage.

lsof -i:7001

If the port is occupied and the process on that port cannot be terminated, you can use the following command to change Studio service port and restart the service.

//Open the configuration file
$ vi config/config.default.js

//Change the port
web:
#  task_id_path:
#  upload_dir:
#  tasks_dir:
#  sqlitedb_file_path:
#  ip:
  port: 7001 // Modify this port number and change it to any 

//Restart service
$ systemctl restart nebula-graph-studio.service

tar-based Studio

Prerequisites

Before you deploy tar-based Studio, you must do a check of these:

• The NebulaGraph services are deployed and started. For more information, see NebulaGraph Database Manual.

• Before the installation starts, the following ports are not occupied.

  Port	Description
  7001	Web service provided by Studio

Install and deploy

1. Select and download the tar package according to your needs. It is recommended to select the latest version. Common links are as follows:

   Installation package	Studio version
   nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.tar.gz	3.2.2

2. Use tar -xvf to decompress the tar package.

   tar -xvf nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.tar.gz
   

3. Deploy and start nebula-graph-studio.

   $ cd nebula-graph-studio
   $ ./server
   

   Caution

   Studio 3.0.0 version is not dependent on nebula-importer and nebula-http-gateway, so the installation and deployment procedure is different from Studio v3.1.0.

4. When Studio is started, use http://ip address:7001 to get access to Studio.

   If you can see the Config Server page on the browser, Studio is started successfully.

   

Stop Service

You can use kill pid to stop the service:

$ kill $(lsof -t -i :7001) #stop nebula-graph-studio

DEB-based Studio

Prerequisites

Before you deploy DEB-based Studio, you must do a check of these:

• The NebulaGraph services are deployed and started. For more information, see NebulaGraph Database Manual.

• The Linux distribution is Ubuntu.

• Before the installation starts, the following ports are not occupied.

  Port	Description
  7001	Web service provided by Studio

  • The path /usr/lib/systemd/system exists in the system. If not, create it manually.

Install

1. Select and download the DEB package according to your needs. It is recommended to select the latest version. Common links are as follows:

   Installation package	Checksum	Nebula version
   nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.deb	nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.deb.sha256	3.0.0

2. Use sudo dpkg -i <deb> to install DEB package.

   For example, install Studio 3.2.2, use the following command:

   $ sudo dpkg -i nebula-graph-studio-3.2.2.x86_64.deb
   

3. When Studio is started, use http://ip address:7001 to get access to Studio.

   If you can see the Config Server page on the browser, Studio is started successfully.

   

Uninstall

You can uninstall Studio using the following command:

$ sudo dpkg -r nebula-graph-studio

Docker-based Studio

Prerequisites

Before you deploy Docker-based Studio, you must do a check of these:

• The NebulaGraph services are deployed and started. For more information, see NebulaGraph Database Manual.

• On the machine where Studio will run, Docker Compose is installed and started. For more information, see Docker Compose Documentation.

• Before the installation starts, the following ports are not occupied.

  Port	Description
  7001	Web service provided by Studio

Procedure

To deploy and start Docker-based Studio, run the following commands. Here we use NebulaGraph v3.0.0 for demonstration:

1. Download the configuration files for the deployment.

   Installation package	NebulaGraph version
   nebula-graph-studio-v3.2.2.tar.gz	3.0.0

2. Create the nebula-graph-studio-v3.2.2 directory and decompress the installation package to the directory.

   mkdir nebula-graph-studio-v3.2.2 -zxvf nebula-graph-studio-v3.2.2.gz -C nebula-graph-studio-v3.2.2
   

3. Change to the nebula-graph-studio-v3.2.2 directory.

   cd nebula-graph-studio-v3.2.2
   

4. Pull the Docker image of Studio.

   docker-compose pull
   

5. Build and start Docker-based Studio. In this command, -d is to run the containers in the background.

   docker-compose up -d
   

   If these lines are returned, Docker-based Studio v3.x is deployed and started.

   Creating docker_web_1      ... done
   

6. When Docker-based Studio is started, use http://ip address:7001 to get access to Studio.

   Note

   Run ifconfig or ipconfig to get the IP address of the machine where Docker-based Studio is running. On the machine running Docker-based Studio, you can use http://localhost:7001 to get access to Studio.

   If you can see the Config Server page on the browser, Docker-based Studio is started successfully.

   

Next to do

On the Config Server page, connect Docker-based Studio to NebulaGraph. For more information, see Connect to NebulaGraph.
