Bolt is an open-source automation tool that allows you to execute commands on multiple systems in parallel. It is developed by Puppet and supports a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Bolt on the latest version of Elementary OS.
Before we begin, please make sure that you meet the following requirements:
The first step is to update the system to ensure that all software packages are up to date. Open a terminal window and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Next, we need to download and install Bolt. Follow these steps:
cd command:cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt install ./bolt-<version>.deb
Replace <version> with the version number of the package you downloaded.
To verify that Bolt has been successfully installed, run the following command:
bolt --version
If Bolt is installed correctly, the output should show the version number of Bolt that you installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bolt on Elementary OS Latest. You can now start automating tasks on multiple systems using Bolt. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the official documentation for Bolt.
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!
