NATS is a lightweight and high-performance messaging system used for cloud-native applications, IoT, and mobile devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install NATS on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing NATS on Fedora CoreOS, you need to ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to download the NATS server package from the official website. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
wget https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/releases/download/v2.5.0/nats-server-v2.5.0-linux-amd64.zip
Once the package is downloaded, extract it using the unzip command:
unzip nats-server-v2.5.0-linux-amd64.zip
This will extract the package into a new directory named nats-server-v2.5.0-linux-amd64.
Next, move the extracted NATS server to the /usr/local/bin directory for easier access:
sudo mv nats-server-v2.5.0-linux-amd64/nats-server /usr/local/bin/
You can verify the installation by running the nats-server command:
nats-server
You should see the following output:
