GNU Bazaar is a free and open-source distributed revision control system that helps you track changes made to your files and collaborate with others. In this tutorial, we will outline the steps to install GNU Bazaar on Linux Mint.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
The latest version of GNU Bazaar is not included in the official Linux Mint repositories. Therefore, we need to add the Bazaar PPA repository to the sources list first. Open the terminal and run the following command to add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bzr/ppa
Enter your password when asked and press Enter to confirm adding the PPA.
Once the PPA has been added, we need to update the package lists. Type the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update
Wait for the command to complete.
Now we can install GNU Bazaar with the following command:
sudo apt install bzr
The command will ask you to confirm the installation. Type Y and press Enter to proceed.
Congratulation! You have successfully installed GNU Bazaar on your Linux Mint machine.
To check if Bazaar is installed correctly, enter the following command:
bzr help
If you see the Bazaar help page, it means the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have shown the steps to install GNU Bazaar on Linux Mint. You can now start using Bazaar to track your changes and collaborate with other developers.
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!
