Genesis is a tool that helps to automate the deployment and management of cloud infrastructures. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Genesis on Linux Mint, the latest version.
Before installing Genesis, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Genesis is hosted on GitHub, and we need to install Git to clone the repository. Open your terminal and run the following command to install Git:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
Once Git is installed, clone the Genesis repository from GitHub using the command below:
git clone https://github.com/starkandwayne/genesis.git ~/genesis
Before installing Genesis, execute the following command to update your system and install some necessary dependencies:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev build-essential libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev
Now we are ready to install Genesis. Navigate to the genesis directory and run the following command:
cd ~/genesis
sudo make install
The installation process will take a while to complete.
To verify that Genesis has been installed successfully, execute the following command:
genesis version
If the installation was successful, you should see the version of Genesis installed to your system.
That’s it. You have successfully installed Genesis on your Linux Mint system. Genesis is an important tool for automating the deployment and management of cloud infrastructures. Make sure you keep it updated to take advantage of new features and bug fixes.
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!
