---------------------
While the manual deployment is easy enough, an automated deployment is
always better. For this, we have the `mintnet-kubernetes
tool <https://github.com/tendermint/tools/tree/master/mintnet-kubernetes>`__,
which allows us to automate the deployment of a Tendermint network on an
already provisioned kubernetes cluster. And for simple provisioning of kubernetes
usually quicker. The below examples show different tools that can be used
for automated deployments.
Automated Deployment using Kubernetes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The `mintnet-kubernetes tool <https://github.com/tendermint/tools/tree/master/mintnet-kubernetes>`__
allows automating the deployment of a Tendermint network on an already
provisioned kubernetes cluster. For simple provisioning of a kubernetes
cluster, check out the `Google Cloud Platform <https://cloud.google.com/>`__.
Automated Deployment using Terraform and Ansible
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The `terraform-digitalocean tool <https://github.com/tendermint/tools/tree/master/terraform-digitalocean>`__
allows creating a set of servers on the DigitalOcean cloud.
The `ansible playbooks <https://github.com/tendermint/tools/tree/master/ansible>`__
allow creating and managing a ``basecoin`` or ``ethermint`` testnet on provisioned servers.
Package Deployment on Linux for developers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``tendermint`` and ``basecoin`` applications can be installed from RPM or DEB packages on
Linux machines for development purposes. The packages are configured to be validators on the
one-node network that the machine represents. The services are not started after installation,
this way giving an opportunity to reconfigure the applications before starting.
The Ansible playbooks in the previous section use this repository to install ``basecoin``.
After installation, additional steps are executed to make sure that the multi-node testnet has
the right configuration before start.
Install from the CentOS/RedHat repository:
::
rpm --import https://tendermint-packages.interblock.io/centos/7/os/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-Tendermint
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/tendermint.repo https://tendermint-packages.interblock.io/centos/7/os/x86_64/tendermint.repo
yum install basecoin
Install from the Debian/Ubuntu repository:
::
wget -O - https://tendermint-packages.interblock.io/centos/7/os/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-Tendermint | apt-key add -
wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tendermint.list https://tendermint-packages.interblock.io/debian/tendermint.list
apt-get update && apt-get install basecoin
