Installation

Github Releases

We build binaries for OS X and Linux using goreleaser

Simply head over to the releases page to grab the latest version.

Homebrew

We maintain a homebrew tap which makes installing on OS X a breeze. Simply add the tap and install:

brew tap apptio/tap
brew install kr8

The homebrew tap will install the below dependencies for you. If you’re using anything other than homebrew, you’ll need to ensure you have the dependencies below

Dependencies

The kr8 binary is currently just one of a set of required dependencies. We plan to explore the need for these dependencies as time goes on, but right now, yhey are required.

go-task

go-task is used inside components and for cluster config generation. It was chosen over Make because it supports parallel builds and JSON files as input (meaning we can use jsonnet to build the files, if needed).

Installation

Check out the go-task install docs for information on installing go-task

Helm

If you plan on rendering and manipulating helm charts in your kr8-configs, you’ll need the helm command line tool installed.

Installation

Check out the helm installation docs for information on installing go-task

Helm will not work unless you initialize it on your client machine.

By default, it’ll ask you to run helm init - which will install the tiller component and presents a security risk

You should use helm init --client-only for kr8
