 – Linux server (CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 18.04) 
 – Java Development Kit (JDK) version 11 or later 
 – PostgreSQL or MySQL database 
 Step 1: Install Java Development Kit (JDK) 
 SonarQube requires Java to run. Follow the steps below to install JDK on your Linux server: 
 1. Update the package list: 
 2. Install OpenJDK 11: 
 3. Verify the installation by checking the Java version: 
 Output: 
 Step 2: Install and Configure the Database 
 SonarQube supports both PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. In this example, we will use PostgreSQL. If you prefer to use MySQL, adjust the instructions accordingly. 
 1. Install PostgreSQL: 
 2. Start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start on boot: 
 3. Create a user and database for SonarQube: 
 Step 3: Download and Install SonarQube 
 1. Create a system user for SonarQube: 
 2. Download and extract the SonarQube package: 
 Step 4: Configure SonarQube 
 1. Open the SonarQube configuration file using a text editor: 
 2. Configure the database connection: 
 Uncomment the respective database properties based on your database choice (PostgreSQL or MySQL) and update the connection details: 
 3. Save and close the file (press Ctrl+X, followed by Y, and then Enter). 
 Step 5: Start SonarQube as a service 
 1. Create a systemd service file for SonarQube: 
 2. Add the following content to the file: 
 3. Save and close the file (press Ctrl+X, followed by Y, and then Enter). 
 4. Start the SonarQube service and enable it to start on boot: 
 Step 6: Access SonarQube Web Interface 
 1. Open your web browser and visit the SonarQube web interface: 
 2. Log in using the default credentials: 
 3. It is recommended to change the default admin password and configure SonarQube according to your needs.

 In this article, we walked through the step-by-step process of installing SonarQube on a Linux server. We started by installing Java Development Kit (JDK), followed by setting up a PostgreSQL database. Afterward, we downloaded and installed SonarQube, configured the database connection, and finally started SonarQube as a service. Now you can use SonarQube to analyze and continuously improve the quality of your codebase.
