Omnibus is a tool that allows you to build full-stack installers for your applications. It uses Ruby as a scripting language for building and packaging installers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Omnibus-Ruby on Windows 10.
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
Omnibus-Ruby is hosted on GitHub and requires Git to be installed on your machine to clone the repository. You can download the Git installer from the Git official website (https://git-scm.com/download/win). After downloading, run the installer and follow the instructions.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator and navigate to the directory where you want to install Omnibus-Ruby. Then, clone the Omnibus-Ruby repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/chef/omnibus.git
Bundler is a dependency manager for Ruby that we will need to install. To install Bundler, run the following command:
gem install bundler
Navigate to the omnibus directory that was cloned in step 2. Then, run the following command to install the required dependencies for Omnibus:
bundle install --without development docs
To test if Omnibus-Ruby is installed correctly, navigate to the omnibus directory and run the following command:
bundle exec omnibus build chef
This will build a full-stack installer for the Chef automation platform using Omnibus. If there are no errors, then Omnibus-Ruby has been successfully installed on your Windows 10 machine.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the process of installing Omnibus-Ruby on Windows 10. By following these steps, you should now be able to build full-stack installers for your applications using Omnibus.
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!
