Corteza is an open-source digital work platform for businesses and organizations. It is a self-hosted platform that provides CRM, BPM, and messaging functionalities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Corteza on Linux Mint Latest.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the system packages to their latest versions. This can be done by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
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
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
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.
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.
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:
● cortez-server.service - Corteza Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cortez-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

└─110970 /usr/bin/cortez-cmd start
You can now access the Corteza web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000. If you have changed the listening port, replace the port number with the one you specified in the configuration file.
