In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Spruce on Ubuntu Server. Spruce is a powerful tool that allows users to manage and manipulate YAML documents with ease. It is widely used for configuration management and continuous deployment.
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
Spruce requires the following dependencies to be installed on your Ubuntu Server:
You can install these dependencies by running the following commands in your Ubuntu Server terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git golang-go golang-glide
The next step is to clone the Spruce repository from Github by running the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/geofffranks/spruce
This command will create a copy of Spruce's source code in a new directory named spruce.
Change into the spruce directory by running:
cd spruce
Next, we need to use Glide to install all Spruce's dependencies:
glide install
Once the installation is complete, we are ready to build Spruce by running the following command:
go build
This command will compile Spruce's binary file, which we can now use.
To use Spruce's binary file wherever we want, we need to add its location to the system's PATH environment variable. We can do this by appending the following command to the end of the ~/.bashrc file:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/spruce/directory
To verify that we have installed Spruce correctly, we can run the following command:
spruce --version
If the installation was successful, it should output the version of Spruce installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Spruce on your Ubuntu Server. You can now start using this powerful tool to manage and manipulate YAML documents with ease.
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!
