|
|
||
| To install the `kit cli` tool please refer to download and install. | ||
| ## Installation from GitHub Releases | ||
| Welcome to the installation guide for the `kit`! This guide is designed to help you quickly and easily install the `kit` on your machine. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Download | ||
| ### Step 1: Downloading the `kit` | ||
|
|
||
| You can download the cli in the [github repository page](https://github.com/jozu-ai/kitops/releases). | ||
| To begin, you will need to download the latest version of `kit`. You can find the most recent release on the official GitHub releases page: | ||
|
|
||
| ### Versions | ||
| [Download the latest `kit` release](https://github.com/jozu-ai/kitops/releases/latest) | ||
|
|
||
| There are different build versions available depending on your platform: | ||
| #### Selecting the Correct Version for Your Platform | ||
|
|
||
| | Platform | Release file name | | ||
| | --- | --- | | ||
| | Mac Silicon (ARM) | [kit-darwin-arm64.tar.gz](https://github.com/jozu-ai/kit/releases/download/nightly/kit-darwin-arm64.tar.gz) | | ||
| | Mac Intel (AMD) | [kit-darwin-amd64.tar.gz](https://github.com/jozu-ai/kit/releases/download/nightly/kit-darwin-amd64.tar.gz) | | ||
| | Linux (ARM) | [kit-linux-arm64.tar.gz](https://github.com/jozu-ai/kit/releases/download/nightly/kit-linux-arm64.tar.gz) | | ||
| | Linux (AMD) | [kit-linux-amd64.tar.gz](https://github.com/jozu-ai/kit/releases/download/nightly/kit-linux-amd64.tar.gz) | | ||
| | Windows | [kit-windows-amd64.zip](https://github.com/jozu-ai/kit/releases/download/nightly/kit-windows-amd64.tar.gz) | | ||
| Depending on your operating system and its architecture, you will need to download a specific build of `kit`. Below is a table to help you identify the correct file to download for your platform: | ||
|
|
||
| ## Installation | ||
| | Platform | Release File Name | | ||
| |-----------------------------------|---------------------------------| | ||
| | macOS (Apple Silicon, ARM64) | `kitops-darwin-arm64.tar.gz` | | ||
| | macOS (Intel, x86_64) | `kitops-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz` | | ||
| | Linux (ARM64) | `kitops-linux-arm64.tar.gz` | | ||
| | Linux (AMD64/x86_64) | `kitops-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` | | ||
| | Linux (Intel/AMD, 32-bit) | `kitops-linux-i386.tar.gz` | | ||
| | Windows (AMD64/x86_64) | `kitops-windows-x86_64.zip` | | ||
| | Windows (ARM64) | `kitops-windows-arm64.zip` | | ||
| | Windows (Intel/AMD, 32-bit) | `kitops-windows-i386.zip` | | ||
|
|
||
| Just download the file and untar it. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Optional: Verifying the Checksum | ||
|
|
||
| After downloading the `kit` and before proceeding with the installation, it's highly recommended to verify the checksum of the downloaded file. | ||
|
|
||
| Each release comes with a file that ends with `checksum.txt` that contains the SHA-256 hashes of the release files. Here's how to verify the checksum: | ||
|
|
||
| #### For macOS and Linux: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open a terminal window. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. Navigate to the directory where the downloaded file and the `checksum.txt` file are located. | ||
|
|
||
| 3. Run the `sha256sum` command followed by the name of the downloaded file. For example, if you downloaded `kitops-linux-x86_64.tar.gz`, you would run: | ||
| ```shell | ||
| shasum -a 256 kitops-darwin-arm64.tar.gz | ||
| ``` | ||
| 3. Compare the output of this command with the corresponding checksum found in the `checksum.txt` file. If the checksums match, the file is verified and safe to use. | ||
|
|
||
| #### For Windows Users: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open Command Prompt. | ||
| 2. Use the `CertUtil` utility to generate the SHA-256 checksum of the downloaded file. For example, if you downloaded `kitops-windows-x86_64.zip`, run: | ||
| ```shell | ||
| CertUtil -hashfile kitops-windows-x86_64.zip SHA256 | ||
| ``` | ||
| 3. Compare the output of this command with the corresponding checksum in the `checksum.txt` file. A matching checksum confirms the file's integrity. | ||
|
|
||
| By verifying the checksum, you can ensure the authenticity and integrity of your downloaded `kit cli` file before installation. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ### Step 2: Installing `kit` | ||
|
|
||
| Once you have downloaded the appropriate file for your system, follow these instructions to install the `kit`. | ||
|
|
||
| #### For Windows Users: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Extract the Archive**: Right-click on the downloaded `.zip` file and select "Extract All..." to unzip the archive. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. **Move to Path**: Move the extracted `kit.exe` to a directory that is included in your system's PATH variable. This will allow you to run `kit` from any command prompt or terminal window. | ||
|
|
||
| #### For macOS and Linux Users: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Extract the Archive**: Open a terminal window and use the `tar` command to extract the downloaded file. For example, if you downloaded the `kitops-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` file, you would use the following command: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| tar -xzvf kitops-linux-x86_64.tar.gz | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 2. **Move to Path**: Move the extracted `kit` executable to a location in your system's PATH. A common choice is `/usr/local/bin`. You can do this with the `mv` command, like so: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| sudo mv kit /usr/local/bin/ | ||
| ``` | ||
| This step may require administrator privileges. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Verifying the Installation | ||
|
|
||
| After installation, you can verify that `kit` is correctly installed by opening a new terminal or command prompt and typing: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| kit version | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This command should display the version number of `kit` you have installed, indicating that the installation was successful. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Installation from source | ||
|
|
||
| For those who prefer or require building `kit` from the source code, this section will guide you through the necessary steps. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed on your system: | ||
|
|
||
| - Git | ||
| - A recent version of Go | ||
|
|
||
| You can check if you have Go installed by running `go version` in your terminal. If you need to install Go, visit the [official Go download page](https://golang.org/dl/) for instructions. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Step 1: Clone the Repository | ||
|
|
||
| First, clone the `kitops` GitHub repository to your local machine. Open a terminal and run: | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| git clone https://github.com/jozu-ai/kitops.git | ||
| cd kitops | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This command clones the repository and changes your current directory to the cloned repository's root. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Step 2: Build from Source | ||
|
|
||
| Once inside the `kitops` directory, you can build the `kit` tool using the Go compiler. Run: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| go build -o kit | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This command compiles the source code into an executable named `kit`. If you are on Windows, you might want to name the executable `kit.exe`. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Step 3: Install the Executable | ||
|
|
||
| After the build process completes, you need to move the `kit` executable to a location in your system's PATH to make it accessible from anywhere in the terminal: | ||
|
|
||
| #### For macOS and Linux: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| sudo mv kit /usr/local/bin/ | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### For Windows: | ||
|
|
||
| Move `kit.exe` to a directory that's included in your system's PATH variable. This step may vary based on your specific Windows setup. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Verifying the Installation | ||
|
|
||
| To verify that `kit` was installed successfully, open a new terminal window and type: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| kit version | ||
| ``` |
