CloudSlang is an open-source cross-platform workflow engine that enables you to automate your IT operations. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install CloudSlang on Windows 10.
CloudSlang requires Java 8 to be installed. If you don't have Java 8 installed, you can download and install it from Oracle's website.
After installation, make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the installation directory of Java.
CloudSlang is hosted on GitHub and requires Git to be installed to download the source code. If you don't have Git installed, you can download and install it from Git's website.
CloudSlang requires Apache Maven to build and install the software. If you don't have Apache Maven installed, you can download and install it from Apache's website.
After installation, make sure that the MAVEN_HOME environment variable is set to the installation directory of Maven.
Open the command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to download the CloudSlang source code. Then, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/CloudSlang/cloud-slang.git
This will download the CloudSlang source code to your local machine.
Once you have downloaded the source code, navigate to the cloud-slang directory that was created in the previous step. Then, run the following command to build CloudSlang:
mvn clean install -DskipTests
This will build the CloudSlang software and create executable jars in the cloudslang-cli/target directory.
To use CloudSlang, you need to set the CS_HOME environment variable to the cloudslang-cli directory. You can do this by running the following command in the command prompt:
setx CS_HOME "<path-to-cloudslang-cli>"
Replace <path-to-cloudslang-cli> with the absolute path to the cloudslang-cli directory.
To verify that CloudSlang is installed correctly, open the command prompt and run the following command:
cloudslang -version
This should display the CloudSlang version number.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed CloudSlang on Windows 10. You can now use CloudSlang to automate your IT operations.
