Bolt is a tool for automation and orchestration you can use to centrally administer virtually any system on your network. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Bolt on a macOS machine.
Before you begin, ensure that your macOS machine meets the following requirements:
Homebrew is a package manager that makes it easy to install software packages on macOS. To download and install Homebrew, open the terminal app and run the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Once Homebrew has been installed, update it to ensure that you are using the latest version. To do this, run the following command:
brew update
Now that you have Homebrew installed and updated, you can install Bolt. To do this, run the following command:
brew install puppet-bolt
And that's it! Bolt is now successfully installed on your macOS machine.
To make sure that Bolt was installed correctly, you can run the following command to check the version number:
bolt --version
This command should output something like:
Bolt 3.26.1
In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps to install Bolt on a macOS machine using Homebrew. Bolt is now installed on your machine and ready to be used for automation and orchestration.
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!
