Install Allure Report for Linux

Allure Report can be installed on Linux from a Homebrew or DEB package or manually from an archive.

Install from Homebrew

1. Make sure Homebrew is installed.

2. In a terminal, run this command:

   brew install allure

3. Run this command to see if it reports the latest version:

   allure --version

Install from a DEB package

1. Make sure that your Linux distribution supports installing software from DEB packages.

2. Go to the latest Allure Report release on GitHub and download the allure-*.deb file.

3. In a terminal, go to the directory with the file and install it. For example:

   sudo dpkg -i allure_2.29.0-1_all.deb

4. Run this command to see if it reports the latest version:

   allure --version

Install from an archive

1. Make sure Java version 8 or above installed, and its directory is specified in the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

2. Go to the latest Allure Report release on GitHub and download the allure-*.zip or allure-*.tgz archive.

3. Uncompress the archive into an installation directory of your choice. For example:

   tar xf /home/user/Downloads/allure-2.29.0.tgz -C /home/user/tools

4. Make sure Allure is in your PATH, so you can invoke it from the command line by just typing allure.

   There are various ways to do so, for example, via the update-alternatives utility or by modifying the PATH variable.

   Using update-alternatives

   Details

   1. Run the following two commands to register the new path to Allure Report and make it default.

      (Replace /home/user/tools/allure-2.29.0/bin/allure with the path to the allure binary file in your installation directory.)

      sudo update-alternatives --install /ust/bin/allure allure /home/user/tools/allure-2.29.0/bin/allure 10
      sudo update-alternatives --set allure /home/user/tools/allure-2.29.0/bin/allure

   2. If you have installed an older version before and do not need it anymore, unregister it, for example:

      sudo update-alternatives --remove allure /home/user/tools/allure-2.28.0/bin/allure

   Modifying PATH

   Details

   1. Open the script that your command shell loads when logging in (it can be located at ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zprofile, etc.) and add the following line to the end of it.

   (Replace /home/user/tools/allure-2.29.0/bin with the path to the bin subdirectory file in your installation directory.)

   export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/tools/allure-2.29.0/bin

   2. If you have previously added a path to another version of Allure Report to PATH, make sure to remove it.

   3. Close the current terminal window, then open a new one.

5. Run this command to see if it reports the latest version:

   allure --version
