sudo install cf /usr/local/bin/
- Verify that CF CLI is installed by running the following command:
cf --version
Step 2: Install CF Deployment
- Install CF Deployment using the following command:
curl -L "https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment/releases/download/v15.2.0/cf-deployment-v15.2.0.yml" -o cf-deployment.yml

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bosh
- Verify that BOSH CLI is installed by running the following command:
bosh --version
Step 4: Install Credhub CLI
- Install Credhub CLI using the following command:
curl -L "https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/credhub-cli/releases/download/2.9.0/credhub-linux-2.9.0.tgz" | tar -xz && \

Open the deployment.yml file and fill in the required values.
Use the following command to deploy BOSH:
sudo bosh create-env deployment.yml
- Verify that BOSH is installed by running the following command:
bosh status
Step 7: Install Cloud Foundry
- Download the CF deployment manifest using the following command:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment.git
- Move into the cf-deployment directory and activate the manifest using the following command:
cd cf-deployment
bosh upload-stemcell --sha1 863983e14b841874f76c02dbf548410c2ee55028 \
https://s3.amazonaws.com/bosh-core-stemcells/aws/xen-hvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent/315.64/bosh-stemcell-315.64-aws-xen-hvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent.tgz && \
bosh -n update-cloud-config manifests/cloud-config.yml && \
bosh -n deploy
Once the process is completed, your Cloud Foundry installation is complete.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Cloud Foundry on Alpine Linux Latest, step-by-step. With this, you should now be able to start deploying applications on the Cloud Foundry platform.
