Installing Skupper
Using the install script
On Linux or the Mac, you can use the install script to download and extract the command:
curl https://skupper.io/install.sh | sh
The script installs the command under your home directory. It prompts you to add the command to your path if necessary.
Installing manually
Download the latest release
Select the latest release for your platform:
To get artifacts for other operating systems and architectures, see the GitHub release page.
Extract the Skupper command
Use tar
or unzip
to extract the command from the release archive:
tar -xf skupper-cli-1.8.1-linux-amd64.tgz
unzip skupper-cli-1.8.1-windows-amd64.zip
This produces an executable file named skupper
in your current
directory.
Place the command on your path
Move the executable file to your preferred location and make it available on your path. For example, this is how you might install it in your home directory:
mkdir $HOME/bin
mv skupper $HOME/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
mkdir %UserProfile%\bin
move skupper.exe %UserProfile%\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;%UserProfile%\bin
Check the command
To test your installation, run the skupper version
command. You
should see output like this:
$ skupper version
client version 1.8.1
transport version not-found (no configuration has been provided)
controller version not-found (no configuration has been provided)
Upgrade sites
When you install a new version of the CLI, you can upgrade each site
using the skupper update
command. While we try to make Skupper
compatible between sites with different versions, we recommend
updating all sites at the same time.
Updating can take some time. Wait a minute before running the
skupper version
command to validate your upgrade.
Do not use skupper update
on sites created using the Skupper Operator. See Using the Skupper Operator on Kubernetes for more information about using the Operator.
