Consul is a powerful service networking platform, which provides service discovery, configuration, and segmentation functionalities. It is useful for building distributed applications and orchestrating advanced network topologies. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Consul on Manjaro Linux.
Before proceeding, please make sure that you have root or sudo access to your Manjaro system and an active internet connection.
Download the Consul package from the official Consul website. The download package comes in a ZIP file that contains the binary file.
To download the Consul package, open a web browser and go to https://www.consul.io/downloads.html. From the Downloads page, choose the appropriate version of the Consul binary for your system architecture, i.e., 32-bit or 64-bit, and click on the “DOWNLOAD CONSUL” button.
Once the Consul package is downloaded, extract the package to your desired location. We will extract the package in the /usr/local/bin/ directory.
Open a terminal window and navigate to the folder where the package was downloaded. For example, if the package was downloaded in the ~/Downloads folder, use the following command:
cd ~/Downloads
Extract the ZIP file to the /usr/local/bin/ directory using the following command:
sudo unzip consul_1.10.1_linux_amd64.zip -d /usr/local/bin/
Note: The above command assumes that the Consul version is 1.10.1, and the architecture is amd64. Replace the file name and architecture according to the version you have downloaded.
To verify that the Consul installation was successful, use the consul version command in a terminal window:
consul version
The above command should print the installed Consul version information:
Consul v1.10.1
