Tyk is a powerful, open-source API gateway and management platform that allows developers to easily manage APIs in a decentralized way. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Tyk on Linux Mint.
Before installing Tyk, you need to install some dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl gnupg2
To add the Tyk repository key, run the following command:
curl https://packagecloud.io/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
Add the Tyk apt repository to your Linux Mint by running the following command:
echo "deb https://packagecloud.io/tyk/tyk-gateway/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tyk-tyk-gateway.list
Finally, install Tyk by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y tyk-gateway
After the installation is complete, you can verify whether it is installed correctly by checking its status using the following command:
systemctl status tyk-gateway
This command will show whether the Tyk gateway is running or not.
You have successfully installed Tyk on your Linux Mint. To start using Tyk, configure its settings and start the Tyk gateway service. Remember to open relevant ports to allow external communication.
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!
