Nomad is a tool developed by HashiCorp that allows you to manage a cluster of machines and deploy applications easily. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Nomad on POP! OS Latest.
Before you start, make sure your system is up to date. Open a terminal emulator and type the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This will update all the packages installed on your system to their latest version.
Nomad requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. To install these dependencies, type the following command in your terminal emulator:
sudo apt install curl unzip -y
This will install the necessary packages on your system.
Next, you need to download the latest version of Nomad. You can do this by visiting the Nomad website at https://www.nomadproject.io/downloads and selecting the appropriate version for your system. For this tutorial, we will be using version 1.1.1.
cd /tmp
curl -fsSL https://releases.hashicorp.com/nomad/1.1.1/nomad_1.1.1_linux_amd64.zip -o nomad.zip
This will download the required files and store them in /tmp.
After downloading the files, extract them using the following command:
unzip nomad.zip
This will extract all the necessary files to the nomad directory.
Next, move Nomad to the /usr/local/bin directory so that it can be accessed from anywhere on your system:
sudo mv nomad /usr/local/bin/nomad
To verify that Nomad has been installed successfully, type the following command in your terminal emulator:
nomad version
This should output the version of Nomad that you have just installed.
That's it! You have successfully installed Nomad on POP! OS Latest. Now you can use Nomad to manage your cluster of machines and deploy your applications easily. If you need help getting started with Nomad, be sure to check out the official documentation at https://www.nomadproject.io/docs.
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!
