CFEngine is a configuration management tool that automates the management and control of large-scale IT infrastructure. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing CFEngine on a Void Linux operating system.
Before downloading and installing CFEngine, we need to ensure that all necessary dependencies are installed. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo xbps-install glibc
Visit the CFEngine website and download the latest version of the CFEngine package.
Once the package has been downloaded, navigate to the directory where it was saved and extract it by running the following command:
tar -zxvf cfengine-<version>.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the version number of the downloaded package.
Navigate to the extracted cfengine-<version> directory and run the following command to configure CFEngine:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
After running this command, you should see a message indicating that the configuration was successful.
To build and install CFEngine on your system, run the following commands:
make
sudo make install
This will compile and install the CFEngine binaries and libraries on your system.
To verify that CFEngine has been installed correctly, run the following command:
cf-agent --version
This command should display the version of CFEngine that has been installed on your system.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed CFEngine on your Void Linux operating system!
