Installing Nomad Server for Use in Dev Mode
If you want to use HashiCorp's Nomad in Development mode, there are a couple of ways to do this, and we will be covering one of these methods in this hands-on lab. In this hands-on lab, you will need to install Nomad and get it running on a single server in both Server and Client mode. You will need to make changes to ensure that a datacenter of `dc1` is being used.
