Prerequisites#

kubectl#

Install kubectl

Auto completions for kubectl (optional)#

source <(kubectl completion bash)
alias k=kubectl
complete -o default -F __start_kubectl k

source <(kubectl completion zsh)
alias k=kubectl
complete -F _start_kubectl k

pkgctl (optional)#

pkgctl is a single binary built for linux and Mac OS, distributed via ghreleases specialized to interface with the pkgserver.

To download & install the latest release the following automated installation script can be used.

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://github.com/pkgserver-dev/pkgctl/raw/main/install.sh)"

As a result, the latest pkgctl version will be installed in the /usr/local/bin directory and the version information will be printed out.

To install a specific version of pkgctl, provide the version with -v flag to the installation script:

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://github.com/pkgserver-dev/pkgctl/raw/main/install.sh)" -- -v 0.2.0

Linux users running distributions with support for deb/rpm packages can install gnmic using pre-built packages:

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://github.com/pkgserver-dev/pkgctl/raw/main/install.sh)" -- --use-pkg

Install Kubernetes (optional)#

pkgserver does not have dependencies on a particular k8s distribution. You can install any of the distributions you like. Below we listed some options.

First install kind using kind

In this example we install a kind cluster with name sdc. 

kind create cluster --name sdc
