First OpenBolt packages available! Edit

Published on Dec 17, 2025 by smortex.

We are happy to announce the availability of the first OpenBolt packages!

OpenBolt is the community-maintained open-source implementation of the Bolt orchestration tool. It is intended to be a drop-in replacement, just like the OpenVox Agent is a drop-in replacement for the Puppet Agent.

Linux

DEB and RPM packages should already be on a mirror near you. If you have already configured the OpenVox repositories, installing openbolt is as easy as:

apt-get update
apt-get install openbolt

MacOS

Running on a Mac? You are covered! Use our Homebrew tap to install openbolt with brew:

brew install openvoxproject/openvox/openvox8-openbolt

MacOS DMG installer package is available on our downloads site as well.

Windows

Windows packages are not ready yet, as they offer more challenges. Please reach out, if you want to help with those!
