How to Install Cloudify on EndeavourOS Latest

Cloudify is an open-source cloud orchestration and management platform that is used for deploying and managing large-scale cloud environments. In this tutorial, we will cover the steps to install Cloudify on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

• EndeavourOS Latest installed on your system.
• A non-root user account with sudo privileges.
• Internet connection.

Step 1: Update System Packages

It is always a good practice to update the system packages to their latest versions before starting any installation process. To update the system packages, run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Before installing Cloudify, we need to install some of its dependencies that are required for its installation. To install them, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S gcc make git python

Step 3: Install Cloudify

Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed to install Cloudify. Follow the below steps:

1. Open the terminal and change to the /tmp directory:

   cd /tmp
   

2. Download the Cloudify installer script using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/cloudify-manager-blueprints.git
   

3. Change the directory to the cloudify-manager-blueprints:

   cd cloudify-manager-blueprints
   

4. Now run the install_plugins.sh script that will install the required plugins for the Cloudify installation:

   ./install_plugins.sh
   

   This command will take some time to complete, and during the installation process, it will prompt you to enter your sudo password. Enter your password and wait for the installation process to complete.

5. Next, run the cfy install command to start the Cloudify installation process:

   cfy install
   

   This command will ask you for some input like the Cloudify manager IP address and credentials, the SSL certificate path, and other details related to the installation. Provide the required details and wait for the installation to complete.

6. After the installation is complete, run the following command to start the Cloudify service:

   sudo systemctl start cloudify.service
   

   This will start the Cloudify service, and you can verify it by running the following command:

   sudo systemctl status cloudify.service
   

   If the service is running, you will see the output like the following:

   ● cloudify.service - Cloudify service
      Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cloudify.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
