Pallet is a powerful tool for infrastructure automation and management. In this tutorial, we'll explain how to install Pallet on macOS.
Before we begin, please ensure that the following requirements are met:
Leiningen is a build tool for Clojure projects. Pallet is a Clojure project, so we'll need Leiningen to get started.
Open a terminal window and type the following command to install Leiningen using Homebrew:
brew install leiningen
Next, we'll clone the Pallet repository onto our local machine.
git clone https://github.com/pallet/pallet.git
This will create a new directory called pallet in your current directory.
Now that we have the Pallet repository, we can build Pallet using Leiningen.
Navigate to the pallet directory, and enter the following command:
lein uberjar
This will build a single executable JAR file located at target/uberjar/pallet-standalone.jar.
For convenience, we'll add the Pallet executable to our PATH environment variable.
Open your ~/.bashrc file in your preferred text editor and add the following line:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/pallet/target/uberjar/
Replace /path/to/pallet with the path to the Pallet directory on your local machine.
Save and close the file.
To verify that Pallet is installed correctly, open a new terminal window and type the following command:
pallet-version
You should see the version number of Pallet displayed on the screen.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed Pallet on macOS! Now you're ready to start automating your infrastructure management with this powerful tool.
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!
