Bolt is an open-source tool that automates the management of your infrastructure. It provides a simple and easy-to-use command-line interface to orchestrate changes across your infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Bolt on POP! OS Latest.
First of all, we need to download the latest version of Bolt from the Puppet website. You can do this by visiting the following link:
https://apt.puppet.com/puppet-tools-release-focal.deb
Before installing Bolt, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg2 lsb-release
Next, we need to add the Puppet repository to the system. Run the following command to add the repository:
curl -s https://apt.puppet.com/PT1B.pub | sudo apt-key add -
Now that we have added the Puppet repository, we can update the system. Run the following command to update the system package list:
sudo apt-get update
Finally, we are ready to install Bolt. Run the following command to install Bolt:
sudo apt-get install puppet-bolt
That’s it! After the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:
bolt --version
If Bolt is successfully installed, you should see the version number printed on the screen.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bolt on POP! OS Latest. You can now use Bolt to automate your infrastructure management tasks.
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!
