Pallet is a configuration management tool written in Clojure that allows you to automate your infrastructure deployment and management. In order to use it in Ubuntu Server, you will have to follow these steps:
Before beginning, make sure you have the following requirements installed on your system:
Make sure you have Java installed in your system. To check the current version installed, run the following command in the terminal:
java -version
If Java is not installed, follow these steps to install it:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jdk
If you have multiple Java versions installed in your system, make sure that Java 8 or higher is set as the default version.
Leiningen is a build tool for Clojure project, and we need it to install Pallet. Follow these steps to download and install Leiningen:
sudo apt install wget
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein
sudo mv lein /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/lein
lein
Once you have installed Leiningen, you can proceed with installing Pallet. Run the following command in the terminal:
lein new pallet my-pallet
This will create a new Pallet project named my-pallet in the current directory. Change your directory to my-pallet:
cd my-pallet
Open the project.clj file in the directory, replace the :pallet-version with the latest version of Pallet, and save the file:
(defproject my-pallet "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.7.0"]
[pallet "0.8.0-beta.9"]]
:plugins [[lein-pallet "0.8.0-beta.9"]]
:pallet-version "0.8.0-beta.9")
Now, install Pallet by running the following command:
lein pallet install
You have successfully installed Pallet on your Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now use Pallet to automate your infrastructure deployment and management.
