Consul must first be installed on your machine. Consul is distributed as a  binary package  for all supported platforms and architectures. This page will not cover how to compile Consul from source, but compiling from source is covered in the  documentation  for those who want to be sure they're compiling source they trust into the final binary. Installing Consul To install Consul, find the  appropriate package  for your system and download it. Consul is packaged as a zip archive. After downloading Consul, unzip the package. Consul runs as a single binary named  consul . Any other files in the package can be safely removed and Consul will still function. The final step is to make sure that the  consul  binary is available on the  PATH . See  this page  for instructions on setting the PATH on Linux and Mac.  This page  contains instructions for setting the PATH on Windows.

Installation of the GoCD server using the package manager will require root access on the machine. You are also required to have a java version 8 for the server to run. The installer will create a user called go if one does not exist on the machine. The home directory will be set to /var/go. If you want to create your own go user, make sure you do it before you install the GoCD server. RPM based distributions (ie RedHat/CentOS/Fedora) The GoCD server RPM installer has been tested on RedHat Enterprise Linux and CentOS. It should work on most RPM based Linux distributions. If you prefer to use the YUM repository and install via YUM, paste the following in your shell — sudo curl https://download.gocd.org/gocd.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/gocd.repo sudo yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk #atleast Java 8 is required, you may use other jre/jdk if you prefer Once you have the repository setup, execute sudo yum install -y go-server Alternatively, if you have the server RPM  d...
