In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Bolt, which is a command-line tool developed by Puppet, that allows users to automate their infrastructure by running commands, scripts, and tasks on any platform or device more easily.
Before starting with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Let's get started with the installation of Bolt on our Fedora system.
Bolt is available in the Puppet repository. To install it, we first need to import the repository's GPG key using the following command:
sudo rpm --import https://yum.puppet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet
Next, we need to add the Puppet repository to our system's repository list. We can do so by creating a new .repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with the following content:
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/puppet.repo
Add the following lines into the file:
[puppetlabs-products]
name=Puppet Labs Products
baseurl=https://yum.puppet.com/puppetlabs-products/fedora/f$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.puppet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet
[puppetlabs-deps]
name=Puppet Labs Dependencies
baseurl=https://yum.puppet.com/puppetlabs-deps/fedora/f$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.puppet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet
Save and exit the file.
Once the Puppet repository is added, we can now install Bolt using the following command:
sudo dnf install puppet-bolt
After the installation is complete, we can verify the Bolt installation by running the following command:
bolt --version
It should display the Bolt version installed.
bolt 3.27.0
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bolt on your Fedora Server Latest system.
In summary, we have learned how to install Bolt on our Fedora Server Latest system by adding Puppet's repository, installing Bolt using the package manager, and verifying the installation. With Bolt, you can now automate your infrastructure easier than ever before.
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!
