How to Install Werf on POP! OS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Werf, which is a CLI tool for building, packaging, and deploying applications with Kubernetes, on POP! OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install dependencies

The first step is to install the Werf dependencies that are required for the installation process. To achieve this, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install gnupg2 software-properties-common

Step 2: Install Docker

Werf requires Docker to be installed, and we will use the Docker installation script to install the latest version of Docker. To achieve this, run the following commands in your terminal.

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

sudo sh get-docker.sh

Post-installation Steps

After installing Docker, you need to add your user to the Docker group, so you do not have to use sudo every time you run a Docker command.

To achieve this, run the following command:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Note: If you're on Ubuntu, you might need to log out and log back in again to ensure that you have the correct access permissions.

Step 3: Install Werf

After installing Docker, the next step is installing Werf. The following are the steps to install Werf:

Add Werf GPG Key

The first step is to add the Werf GPG key to your system using the following command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61

Add Werf Repository

Next, add the Werf repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/werf.list using the following command:

echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/flant/werf-deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/werf.list

Update Package Lists

After adding the Werf repository, you need to update the package lists:

sudo apt-get update

Install Werf

Finally, install Werf using the following command:

sudo apt-get install werf

Step 4: Verify the Installation
