Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have the following:

Step 1: Update System Packages

The first step is to update the system packages to their latest versions. This can be done by running the following command:

Step 2: Installing Required Dependencies

Corteza has several dependencies that need to be installed before we can start the installation process. We will install all the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

sudo apt install curl gnupg -y

Step 3: Adding Corteza’s Package Repository

Next, we will add Corteza’s package repository to our system. This can be done by running the following command:

curl https://getcortez.org/public.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://getcortez.org/repo/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cortez.list

Step 4: Installing Corteza

After adding the package repository, we can now install Corteza by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install cortez-server -y

This command will download and install the Corteza server package on your Linux Mint Latest system.

Step 5: Configuring Corteza

By default, Corteza listens on port 8000. However, you can change the listening port by editing the configuration file. The default configuration file is located at /etc/cortez-server/config.yaml:

sudo nano /etc/cortez-server/config.yaml

Make the necessary changes and save the file.

Step 6: Starting Corteza Service

Finally, we can start the Corteza service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start cortez-server

You can check the status of the service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl status cortez-server

This command will display the status of the Corteza service. If it's running, you will see an output similar to the following:
