Prerequisites

Step 1: Update the System

It is crucial to update the system before installing any new software. So, let’s begin by updating our system.

Run the following command to update the system:

Before you start the installation process of Corteza, you need to install some prerequisites:

To install Docker, run the following command:

Step 3: Clone Corteza Repository

We will now clone the Corteza repository from the official GitHub repository. To clone it, run the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/cortezaproject/corteza-server.git /opt/corteza-server

Step 4: Generate Corteza Environment File

Create an environment file for Corteza by running the following command:

sudo cp /opt/corteza-server/docker/.env.template /opt/corteza-server/docker/.env

Step 5: Configure Corteza

Open the environment file using your preferred text editor.

sudo nano /opt/corteza-server/docker/.env

Configure your domain name and Corteza admin credentials by setting the CZA_HTTP_HOST and CZA_ADMIN_EMAIL and CZA_ADMIN_PASSWORD variables.

# ...
# Domain name that will be used for the Corteza instance.
# This domain name should match the one on reverse proxy configuration.
CZA_HTTP_HOST=corteza.example.com
