To install Consul on Ubuntu 14.04, first make sure you have unzip available:
$ apt-get install -y unzip
Now, grab the Consul archive, make sure to get the latest & the right architecture, at the time of writing it is 0.5.0, and for Ubuntu it's linux_amd64:
$ wget https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/consul/0.5.0_linux_amd64.zip
Now unzip it.
$ unzip 0.5.0_linux_amd.zip
Now move consul
to somewhere in your PATH:
$ mv consul /usr/bin/local/consul
Finally, check it works:
$ consul --version
Consul v0.5.0
Consul Protocol: 2 (Understands back to: 1)
Good job!
