ZITADEL is an open source IAM (Identity and Access Management) solution that allows organizations to securely manage the identity of their users and the permissions they have to access resources. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ZITADEL on Linux Mint.
Open a command terminal on Linux Mint by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or by searching for "Terminal" in the applications menu.
Install git if it is not already installed on your system:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/caos/zitadel.git
cd zitadel
git tag
git checkout tags/<latest-release>
Replace <latest-release> with the latest tag available.
.env file and set the required environment variables:cp .env.example .env

You should see the following containers running:
caos/zitadel-cm: The configuration management container.caos/zitadel-iam: The identity and access management container.Congratulations! You have successfully installed ZITADEL on Linux Mint.
