How to install Juju on Elementary OS

Juju is a powerful and flexible tool that allows users to deploy, configure, manage and scale complex applications in any cloud environment. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Juju on Elementary OS, a popular Linux distribution.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1 - Update your system

First, update the system and its packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo ap-get upgrade

Step 2 - Install snapd

Juju is distributed as a snap package, so you'll need to install snapd, the package manager for snaps.

sudo apt install snapd

Step 3 - Install Juju

Install Juju using the command below:

sudo snap install juju --classic

The --classic option is required because Juju needs privileged access to your system.

Step 4 - Verify Juju installation

Once the installation is complete, you can verify the Juju version by running the following command:

juju version

This should return the version number of Juju.

Step 5 - Install Juju GUI (Optional)

The Juju GUI provides a graphical interface for managing Juju models, applications and units.

sudo snap install juju-gui --channel=2.16/stable

You can access the GUI by opening your browser and navigating to http://localhost:6080.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Juju on your Elementary OS system. You can now start using Juju to manage complex applications in any cloud environment.
