How to Install Pallet on POP! OS Latest

Pallet is a tool for automating server provisioning, deployment, and configuration management. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Pallet on POP! OS latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

A machine running POP! OS latest.
A user account with sudo privileges.
Updated packages and repositories.

Install Java

Pallet requires the Java Development Kit (JDK) to be installed on your system. To install the latest version of JDK on your system, run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y default-jdk

To verify that Java is installed, run the following command:

java -version

openjdk version "11.0.12" 2021-07-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.12+7-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.21.10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.12+7-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.21.10, mixed mode, sharing)

Install Leiningen

Leiningen is a build automation tool for Clojure projects. Pallet is written in Clojure, so we need to install Leiningen to build and run Pallet.

To install Leiningen, follow these steps:

Download the Leiningen script with the following command:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/stable/bin/lein

Make the script executable with the following command:
```
chmod +x lein
```
Move the lein script to the /usr/local/bin/ directory with the following command:
```
sudo mv lein /usr/local/bin/
```
Verify that Leiningen is installed by running the following command:
```
lein version
```

The output should be similar to the following:

Leiningen 2.9.14 on Java 11.0.12 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM

Install Pallet

Now that we have installed the prerequisites, we can proceed with installing Pallet on POP! OS latest.

To install Pallet, follow these steps:

Clone the Pallet repository from GitHub with the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/pallet/pallet.git
```
Change to the pallet directory with the following command:
```
cd pallet
```
Build the Pallet project with the following command:
```
lein do deps, init
```
This command will download all the required dependencies and initialize the project.
To test if Pallet is working, run the following command:
```
lein test
```
This command will run Pallet's test suite. If all the tests pass, Pallet is installed and working correctly.
