How to Install Cloudify on NetBSD

Cloudify is an open-source orchestration platform for deploying and managing applications on cloud infrastructure. It allows users to automate the deployment and management of applications within the cloud environment. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cloudify on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

• NetBSD 7.x or higher
• Python 2.7 or higher
• Java 8 or higher

Step 1: Install Python and Java

Cloudify requires Python and Java to be installed on your system. If they are not installed, follow the steps below to install them.

Install Python

NetBSD comes with Python pre-installed. However, if you don't have Python installed already, you can use the following command to install it:

pkg_add python

Install Java

To install Java on NetBSD, follow these steps:

1. Download the Java installation file from the official website. (For this tutorial, we will use the OpenJDK version.)

   wget https://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk8u40/ri/openjdk-8u40-b25-bin.tar.gz
   

2. Extract the downloaded file in the /usr/local/ directory.

   tar -xzf openjdk-8u40-b25-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
   

3. Set the environment variables for Java by adding the following lines to the /etc/profile file:

   export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.8.0_40
   export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
   

   Note: Replace the JAVA_HOME path with the installed version of Java.

Step 2: Install Cloudify

Follow the steps below to install Cloudify on NetBSD:

1. Download the Cloudify installation package from the official website. (For this tutorial, we will use the community edition.)

   wget http://repository.cloudifysource.org/org/cloudifysource/3.4.2-community-release/cloudify-community-3.4.2-b226.tar.gz
   

2. Extract the downloaded package in the /opt/ directory.

   tar -xzf cloudify-community-3.4.2-b226.tar.gz -C /opt/
   

3. Set the environment variables for Cloudify by adding the following lines to the /etc/profile file:

   export PATH=$PATH:/opt/cloudify-3.4.2/bin
   

4. After setting the environment variable, refresh it by running the following command:

   . /etc/profile
   

5. Verify the installation by running the following command:

   cfy help
   

   This command should display the help menu for Cloudify.
