How to Install Cloudify on Ubuntu Server Latest?

Cloudify is a powerful open-source cloud orchestration platform which enables users to automatically deploy, manage, and monitor cloud-native applications with ease. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Cloudify on the latest Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation process, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• A Linux-based operating system installed on your server (preferably the latest version)
• Access to a terminal or command line interface
• A user account with sudo privileges

Installation Steps

Step 1: Update System Packages

To begin the installation process, ensure that your Ubuntu server is up-to-date by running the following commands:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install JDK

Cloudify requires a Java Development Kit (JDK) to be installed on your system. You can install the default JDK by running the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install default-jdk

Step 3: Install Python

Cloudify requires Python 2.7.x to be installed on your system. You can install it by running the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install python2.7

Verify the installation by running the following command:

$ python -V

Step 4: Add Cloudify Repository

Next, we need to add the Cloudify repository to our system. To do this, run the following command:

$ echo "deb http://repository.cloudifysource.org/ubuntu xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudify.list

Now, we need to add the GPG key for the repository by running the following command:

$ curl -s http://repository.cloudifysource.org/cloudify/gpg/cloudify.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Step 5: Install Cloudify CLI

To install the Cloudify CLI, run the following command:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y cloudify-cli

Verify the installation by running the following command:

$ cfy --version

Step 6: Configure Cloudify CLI

Once the Cloudify CLI is installed, we need to configure it. Run the following command to initialize the Cloudify CLI:

$ cfy init

Now, enter the required details for the Cloudify CLI configuration, such as username, password, tenant name, and URL.

Step 7: Start Cloudify Manager

Finally, we need to launch the Cloudify Manager by running the following command:

$ cfy bootstrap

This will create a Cloudify Manager instance, which you can access using the IP address or DNS name of your server on port 80, for example: http://[IP_address]:80.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should now have Cloudify installed and running on your Ubuntu server. You can use the Cloudify CLI to deploy and manage cloud-native applications on your server.
