Nomad is a powerful and flexible cluster manager and scheduler that can be used to manage containerized applications and services. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Nomad on Void Linux.
Before you begin with the installation, make sure that:
First, you need to install some dependencies required to build and run Nomad on Void Linux. Open the terminal on your Void Linux system and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y git gcc make xz-devel libseccomp-devel
This command will install git, gcc, make, xz-devel, and libseccomp-devel packages that are required to build and run Nomad.
Next, you need to download and extract the latest version of Nomad from the official website. Run the following command in your terminal:
curl -LO https://releases.hashicorp.com/nomad/0.12.9/nomad_0.12.9_linux_amd64.zip
This command will download the Nomad binary package for Linux amd64 architecture.
After the download is completed, extract the Nomad package by running the following command:
unzip nomad_0.12.9_linux_amd64.zip
This command will extract the nomad binary file to the current directory.
Once you have extracted the Nomad binary file, you need to move it to a system path so that it can be executed from anywhere in the terminal. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo mv nomad /usr/local/bin/
This command will move the nomad binary file to the /usr/local/bin directory, which is included in the system path.
Finally, you can verify the installation of Nomad by running the nomad version command in your terminal:
nomad version
This command will display the version of Nomad installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nomad on your Void Linux system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Nomad on Void Linux. Now you can start exploring Nomad's powerful features and use it to manage your applications and services in a distributed environment.
