Apache CouchDB is a NoSQL database system that can run on Linux operating systems. Here are the steps to install CouchDB on a Linux system under Apache:

1. Check the system requirements: CouchDB requires Erlang and a few other dependencies to be installed on your Linux system before you can install it. Check the CouchDB documentation for the specific system requirements for your distribution.
2. Install the dependencies: Install Erlang and other dependencies using your distribution’s package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the command:

sudo apt-get install erlang libicu-dev libmozjs185-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

3. Download CouchDB: Download the latest version of CouchDB from the official website. Extract the downloaded archive to a directory of your choice.
4. Configure CouchDB: Change to the CouchDB directory and run the configure script:

cd apache-couchdb-x.y.z ./configure

This will configure CouchDB with the appropriate options for your system.

5. Build and install CouchDB: Build and install CouchDB using the make command:

make && sudo make install

6. Start CouchDB: Start the CouchDB server using the command:

sudo systemctl start couchdb

7. Verify CouchDB installation: Verify the installation by accessing the CouchDB web interface at http://localhost:5984/_utils/. You should see the Futon interface, which allows you to create and manage CouchDB databases.

That’s it! You have successfully installed CouchDB on your Linux system under Apache.
