For MacOS users, Use Docker for Mac. Docker for Windows may work but it has not been tested or supported. Let’s start the installation with the first step.

Step-by-Step Installation of Open edX DevStack Olive Release

1. Make edx directory

Create a Make edX Directory using mkdir openedx_olive Command on the Terminal.

$ mkdir openedx_olive

2. Go to that Directory

To access the directory use the Terminal command cd openedx_olive.

$ cd openedx_olive

3. Clone Devstack Directory

Clone the DevStack Directory with the command git clone. Open https://github.com/openedx/devstack/ and search for olive.master.

Select open-release/olive.master, next screenshot will show the complete package for Open edX DevStack Olive Installation.

Click the given Code button, in the local section, you will show the link https://github.com/openedx/devstack.git in HTTPS, copy that link, and clone the link using the command.

$ git clone https://github.com/openedx/devstack.git

Press Enter to show the output of the clone GitHub link.

4. Checkout in Open-Release for Olive Master

To inspect the configuration of the olive master setup, enter the command “git checkout open-release/olive.master” in the DevStack directory.

$ git checkout open-release/olive.master

You can use the “git status” command to verify the current status of your files and determine whether they are up to date with the repository or not.

$ git status

By displaying any modifications or changes made to the files since the last commit, “git status” provides you with an overview of the state of the repository, including which files need to be committed or pushed to keep them synchronized with the latest changes.

5. Export to Olive Master

Once the olive master setup is finished, you can export it using the command

$ export OPENEDX_RELEASE=olive.master

6. Install Requirements of olive.master

To install all the necessary components for the Olive release on Ubuntu, enter the command “make requirements” in the terminal.

$ make requirements

7. Clone https: make dev.clone.https

To clone the DevStack directory to the root of your system and view the corresponding result, execute the command “make dev.clone.https” in the terminal. You will get the result as the image shows.

When the system tries to execute the dev.clone.https command it generates an error like,

Fatal: Remote branch open-release/olive.master not found in upstream origin
Make[1]: *** [Makefile:167: impl-dev.clone.https] Error 128
Make[1]: Leaving directory ‘home/codetrade/openedx_olive/devstack’

Make: *** [Makefile:170 dev.clone.https] Error 2

To resolve this error, you can use the command “make dev.checkout” to verify all the data in the DevStack directory.

$ make dev.checkout

When we execute the command it will fetch data and branches of open-release/olive.master to discover and check out the complete repository file repo.sh. While running the “dev.clone.https” command, the system will execute the necessary data and directories from the repo.sh file.

The installation of Open edX DevStack Olive Release paused due to an error caused by the edx-e2e-tests.git file, which prevents access to the necessary data in that file.

https://github.com/edx/edx-e2e-tests.git

The problem with the edx-e2e-tests.git repository file is caused by a failure to execute it correctly. This is because the file owner archived the file data on Jan 27, 2023, and as a result, it has become read-only, meaning that it cannot be modified or updated.

To resolve this issue, you need to follow some simple steps.

• Remove # ”https://github.com/edx/edx-e2e-tests.git” file path on the repo.sh file.

• Change the directory using the cd .. command to manually add the edx-e2e-tests.gif file

• Add using edx-e2e-tests.gif file the command

$ git clone https://github.com/edx/edx-e2e-tests.git

• Click Enter to execute the command.

These steps will help you to fix the error with ex-e2e-tests.git and proceed with the installation of Olive in Open edX DevStack.

8. Run Provision

Provision is the most important step in installing open edx Olive. This section contains the overall requirements of Olive.master. Access the given command to Run Provision

$ make dev.provision

Execute this command in the terminal and it will display the given result.

With continued execution of the provision command, when it tries to execute provision lms from provision-lms.sh file, an error will occur.

As proceed with the installation process, provision-lms will encounter an error while trying to fetch discovery data from edxops/discovery:olive.master.

Open edX Olive Image Discovery Error

An error arises when the system attempts to locate discovery images from edxops/discovery:olive.master.

Error: manifest for edxops/discovery:olive.master not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown
Make[1]: *** [Makefile:220: impl-dev.provision] Error 1
Make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/codetrade/openedx_olive/devstack’
Would you like to assist devstack development by sending anonymous usage metrics to edx? Run ‘make metrics-opt-in’ to learn more!
make: *** [Makefile:224: dev.provision] Error 2

How to resolve the edxops/discovery error in olive.master

There are 2 ways to resolve this image discovery issue with Olive Release Installation.

Go to the https://hub.docker.com/r/edxops/discovery/tags

• You can use the latest version of the Discovery Directory

  docker pull edxops/discovery:latest

• Use the old version of Open edX DevStack:Nutmeg

  docker pull edxops/discovery:nutmeg.master

One possible solution to the Image discovery issue is to manually copy the link path and add it to the code. The image below shows an example of the CodeTrade GitLab Portal, where

image: edxops/discovery:${OPENEDX_RELEASE:-latest}

replaced with

image: edxops/discovery:nutmeg.master

When the path has been replaced, the installation process should proceed without any issues.

Once the provision-lms process has been completed, the next step is to proceed with provisioning e-commerce.

During the execution of provision ecommerce in open edx devstack, the system attempts to pull data from the specified path edxops/ecommerce:olive.master. However, this path generates an error indicating that it does not find the path.

Error: Manifest for edxops/ecommerce:olive.master not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

How to resolve ecommerce issues with the installation of Olive Open edX DevStack

When this issue occurs, we have 2 options to resolve this. Go to https://hub.docker.com/r/edxops/ecommerce/tags to check the latest libraries updates of Docker Hub.

• You can choose the latest updated library path to implement it into your code. Like,

• You can go with the old version of Open edX DevStack, Nutmeg, and apply Nutmeg libraries to your project. For example,

By using one of these methods, you can choose a suitable library that fulfills your project requirements and integrate it with the system to complete the Olive Installation.

For example, as you can show in the given image, the path

image: edxops/ecommerce:${OPENEDX_RELEASE:-latest}

Replaced with

image: edxops/ecommerce:nutmeg.master

Re-execute the command to execute to get the output as shown in the image.

Once the provisioning of the e-commerce system is completed, the system progresses to the subsequent installation steps, with running migrations for discovery. However, the system encounters an issue during this process.

OSError with no library found called “cairo/cairo2”. The error occurred while the system execute migrations for discovery.

File “edx/app/discovery/venus/discovery/lib/python 3.8/site-packages/cairocffi/_init_.py”, line 45, in dlopen raise OSError(error_message) #pragma: no cover
OSError: no library called ‘cairo’ was found
no library called ‘libcairo-2’ was found
Cannot load library ‘libcairo.so.2’: libcairo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Cannot load library `libcairo.2.dylib’: libcairo.2.dylib: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Cannot load library `libcairo-2.dll’: libcairo-2.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:92: migrate] Error 1
Make[1]: *** [Makefile:220: impl-dev.provision] Error 2
Make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/codetrade/openedx_olive/devstack
Would you like to assist devstack development by sending anonymous usage metrics to edx? Run ‘make metrics-opt-in’ to learn more!
make: ***[Makefile:224: dev.provision] Error 2

Implement the following given process to resolve the OSError issue.

• Go to Discovery Shell

• Install – apt-get install pango1.0-tools

• Run your provision

Installing the pango1.0 tool should effectively resolve the OSError issue and allow you to proceed with the installation process.

The installation process has been paused due to an error caused by the edx-e2e-tests.git file. We remove this from the repo.sh file to fix the dev.clone.https error. As a result, the system is unable to access
edx-e2e-tests.git file services and it generates an error.

To solve this error issue, you should comment on the service file of edx-e2e-tests.git.

Re-execute your provision section to continue the installation process.

9. Run DevStack Up

The installation process has been successfully completed with the above-listed steps. To start the Open edX Olive release service you need to run the following command:

$ make dev.up

The steps listed above are a prerequisite for installing the Olive Release on Open edX. However, it’s important to note that the installation process may encounter critical file-related issues, and resolving these issues can make the Olive installation process lengthy and time-consuming.
