Genesis is a powerful tool for deploying and managing applications in cloud environments. If you're an Arch Linux user, you may be interested in using Genesis to automate your application infrastructure. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Genesis on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
The first step in installing Genesis is to install the dependencies that it relies on. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git ruby ruby-bundler ruby-docs
This will install the following packages:
You may be prompted to enter your password during the installation process. If so, enter your password and press Enter to continue.
Next, we'll clone the Genesis repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/starkandwayne/genesis.git
This will create a new directory called "genesis" in your current working directory, which contains the Genesis source code.
Now that we have the Genesis source code, we can install it using Bundler. Open a terminal window and navigate to the "genesis" directory that we just created:
cd genesis
Next, run the following command to install the required gems:
bundle install
This will download and install all of the necessary Ruby gems that Genesis relies on.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that Genesis is installed by running the following command:
bin/genesis version
This should display the current version of Genesis that is installed on your system.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Genesis on Arch Linux. Now that you have Genesis installed, you can start using it to automate your application infrastructure. For more information on how to use Genesis, refer to the Genesis documentation.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
