Lets Start Process & Steps to be followed like Shown below

Login to Server Ubuntu-18.0.4
Next switch to Root User by this command sudo -i
Adding Sonar-Qube user to server by this command adduser --system --no-create-home --group --disabled-login sonarqube
Create one Sonar-Qube Directory under opt by this command mkdir /opt/sonarqube
Next Move to Sonarqube directory cd /opt/sonarqube
Install wget tool to install the software's in ubuntu apt install wget -y
Install unzip tool open the software which using wget apt install unzip -y
Next Install Sonar-Qube Software from official documentation provided by Sonar-Qube https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonarqube/sonarqube-7.5.zip
Next Unzip sonarqube software which installed from official documentation unzip sonarqube-7.5.zip
Once the files extract, delete the downloaded zip file, those files are no longer needed rm sonarqube-7.5.zip
Change the ownership for sonarqube software to access the sonarqube user chown -R sonarqube: sonarqube /opt/sonarqube
After that update the server sudo apt update -y
Now to install open jdk java search for java sudo apt search Openjdk
Next install java 8 version sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk -y
we can also set updated versions of java using sudo update-alternatives --config java
Check the java version java -version
Now install the My-Sql data base sudo apt-get install mysql-server -y
check the status of the data base running successfully or not sudo systemctl status mysql
Now exit or logout from current user
then login as a data base user sudo mysql -u root -p
Then create the SonarQube database: CREATE DATABASE sonarqube;
Now create the credentials that SonarQube will use to access the database CREATE USER sonarqube@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_secure_password';
Then grant permissions so that the newly created user can make changes to the SonarQube database: GRANT ALL ON sonarqube.* to sonarqube@'localhost';
Then apply the permission changes and exit the MySQL console: FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
After that login as a root user by sudo -i and switch to opt directory cd /opt
Next edit the sonarqube config file and add the sonarqube credentials vi sonarqube-7.5/conf/sonar.properties
sonar.jdbc.username=sonarqube
sonar.jdbc.password= password
sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonarqube?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8&rewriteBatchedStatements=true&useConfigs=maxerformance&useSSL=false
sonar.web.javaAdditionalOpts=-server
sonar.web.host=0.0.0.0
sonar.web.port=9000
NextCreate SONARQUBE service file to Add the following content to the file which specifies how the SonarQube service will start and stop vi /etc/systemd/system/sonarqube.service [Unit]
