cd /usr/local
sudo tar zxvf nexus-2.5.1-01-bundle.tar.gz
sudo ln -s nexus-2.5.1-01 nexus

(untar will create two folders: nexus-2.5.1-01 and sonatype-work)

2. Copy/Modify the Nexus startup script

sudo cp /usr/local/nexus/bin/nexus /etc/init.d/nexus

(change: NEXUS_HOME="/usr/local/nexus", RUN_AS_USER=<WHOAMI>, and PIDDIR="/tmp" )
(change the default port at: /usr/local/nexus/conf/nexus.properties, as application-port=8081)

3. Update to default of Ubuntu startup level

sudo update-rc.d nexus defaults

4. Change owner property for the folder /usr/local/sonatype-work

sudo chown USER:GROUP sonatype-work/ -R

5. Try to run it and check it healthy

service nexus start

(check the log: /usr/local/sonatype-work/nexus/logs/nexus.log, and ps aux | grep nexus, or netstat -napt | grep 8081)
