In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps needed to install Bolt, which is a tool from Puppet that provides a simple and powerful way to automate tasks across your infrastructure. This guide is specifically for installing Bolt on Windows 10.
Before you start the installation process, confirm that your system meets the following requirements:
Navigate to the official Puppet Bolt page and download the latest version of Bolt for your operating system. As we're installing Bolt on Windows 10, select the Windows option and click on the "Download (MSI)" button.
Once the Bolt MSI file has been downloaded, double-click the file to begin the installation process. Follow the prompts provided by the installer, accepting the default values as necessary.
During the installation process, you may be prompted to install additional components. Follow the prompts as necessary to complete the installation.
After the installation is complete, open a PowerShell terminal and run the following command to verify that Bolt has been installed correctly:
bolt --version
If the installation was successful, the command should output the version number of Bolt.
You've successfully installed Bolt on your Windows 10 machine! With Bolt installed, you can now start automating tasks across your infrastructure using the power of Puppet.
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!
