How to Install Bolt on Fedora Server Latest?

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Bolt, which is a command-line tool developed by Puppet, that allows users to automate their infrastructure by running commands, scripts, and tasks on any platform or device more easily.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

A running Fedora Server Latest system with sudo access.
A stable internet connection to download the required dependencies.

Installation

Let's get started with the installation of Bolt on our Fedora system.

Step 1: Import Puppet Repository

Bolt is available in the Puppet repository. To install it, we first need to import the repository's GPG key using the following command:

sudo rpm --import https://yum.puppet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet

Step 2: Add Puppet Repository

Next, we need to add the Puppet repository to our system's repository list. We can do so by creating a new .repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with the following content:

sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/puppet.repo

Add the following lines into the file:

[puppetlabs-products]
name=Puppet Labs Products
baseurl=https://yum.puppet.com/puppetlabs-products/fedora/f$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.puppet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet

[puppetlabs-deps]
name=Puppet Labs Dependencies
baseurl=https://yum.puppet.com/puppetlabs-deps/fedora/f$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.puppet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet

Save and exit the file.

Step 3: Install Bolt

Once the Puppet repository is added, we can now install Bolt using the following command:

sudo dnf install puppet-bolt

Step 4: Verify Bolt Installation

After the installation is complete, we can verify the Bolt installation by running the following command:

bolt --version

It should display the Bolt version installed.

bolt 3.27.0

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bolt on your Fedora Server Latest system.

Conclusion

In summary, we have learned how to install Bolt on our Fedora Server Latest system by adding Puppet's repository, installing Bolt using the package manager, and verifying the installation. With Bolt, you can now automate your infrastructure easier than ever before.
