Compiling and Installing HAProxy from Source Code

Obtain the HAProxy source code and copy it to the /home directory on the server.

If the server is connected to the Internet, you can run the wget command on the server to download the source code.

         
              cd /home

         
              wget https://www.haproxy.org/download/1.9/src/haproxy-1.9.0.tar.gz --no-check-certificate

Compile and install HAProxy.

       
            make TARGET=linux41 && make install PREFIX=/usr/local/haproxy/

PREFIX=PATH specifies the HAProxy installation directory.

Create a folder in the HAProxy installation path for storing the configuration file.

mkdir -p /usr/local/haproxy/conf
