How to Install Bolt on Manjaro

Bolt is a tool from Puppet that allows you to easily automate your infrastructure. If you're using Manjaro and want to install Bolt, this tutorial will walk you through the steps.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, you'll need to make sure you have a few things set up:

Steps

  1. First, we need to add the Puppet repository to our system. Run the following command in your terminal:

    sudo pacman -Syyu yay
    

    This will update your system and install yay, which is a package manager that can handle AUR packages.

  2. Next, run the following command to add the Puppet repository:

    yay -S puppet-bolt
    

    This will pull the latest version of Bolt from the Puppet repository and install it on your system.

  3. Once the installation is complete, you can verify that Bolt is installed by running the following command:

    bolt --version
    

    If Bolt is installed correctly, this will display the version number.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bolt on your Manjaro system. You are now ready to begin automating your infrastructure.

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!
