Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install dependencies

The first step is to install the Werf dependencies that are required for the installation process. To achieve this, run the following command:

Post-installation Steps

After installing Docker, you need to add your user to the Docker group, so you do not have to use sudo every time you run a Docker command.

To achieve this, run the following command:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Note: If you're on Ubuntu, you might need to log out and log back in again to ensure that you have the correct access permissions.

echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/flant/werf-deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/werf.list

Update Package Lists

After adding the Werf repository, you need to update the package lists:

sudo apt-get update

Install Werf

Finally, install Werf using the following command:

sudo apt-get install werf
