In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing StackStorm on Linux Mint. StackStorm is an event-driven, open-source automation platform that integrates with various tools and services. It allows you to automate repetitive tasks, build workflows, and improve productivity.
Before we start, we need to ensure that our system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to install the required dependencies by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev build-essential
This will install pip, Python development files, and other required packages.
StackStorm requires a message broker to handle its messaging. We will use RabbitMQ as our message broker.
Run the following commands to install RabbitMQ:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq-erlang/debian lsb_release -cs erlang" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bintray.rabbitmq.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6B73A36E6026DFCA
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
Now, we will install StackStorm by running the following commands:
sudo curl -sSL https://stackstorm.com/packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --user=st2admin
sudo passwd st2admin
sudo st2ctl start
This will install StackStorm and create a user called st2admin. You will be prompted to enter a password for this user.
Finally, start the StackStorm service by running the following command:
sudo st2ctl start
Congratulations! You have installed StackStorm on your Linux Mint system.
To verify that StackStorm is running correctly, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost. You should see a login screen.
Enter the username and password you created earlier, and you should be logged in to the StackStorm dashboard.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install StackStorm on Linux Mint. Now, you can start automating your tasks and workflows using StackStorm. Happy automating!
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!
