  3. Move the extracted directory to /opt:

    sudo mv cloudify-4.5.5 /opt

  4. Set the permissions of the Cloudify directory:

    sudo chown -R root:root /opt/cloudify-4.5.5/

Step 3: Set Environment Variables

export CLOUDIFY_HOME=/opt/cloudify-4.5.5
export PATH=$PATH:$CLOUDIFY_HOME/bin

Reload your shell's configuration file:
