Genesis is a command-line tool that helps in setting up and managing Cloud Foundry environments. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Genesis on the latest version of POP! OS.
The first step is to install Git, which is a distributed version control system used for tracking changes in source code.
Open the terminal using the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut.
Update the package manager using the following command:
sudo apt update
Install Git using the following command:
sudo apt install git
BOSH is a deployment tool used to deploy and manage distributed systems. Genesis uses BOSH CLI to communicate with cloud providers, so we need to install it first.
Install the dependencies required by BOSH CLI using the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential zlibc zlib1g-dev ruby ruby-dev openssl libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpq-dev -y
Install BOSH CLI using the following command:
gem install bosh_cli
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can install Genesis.
Clone the Genesis repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/starkandwayne/genesis.git
Go to the Genesis directory using the following command:
cd genesis
Install the required plugins using the following command:
sudo gem install bundler
bundle install
Add the Genesis binary to your system path using the following command:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Genesis on the latest version of POP! OS. Now you can start using Genesis to set up and manage your Cloud Foundry environment.
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!
