Installing the Client Tools

In this lab you will install the command line utilities required to complete this tutorial: cfssl, cfssljson, and kubectl.

Install CFSSL

The cfssl and cfssljson command line utilities will be used to provision a PKI Infrastructure and generate TLS certificates.

Download and install cfssl and cfssljson from the cfssl repository:

OS X

wget -q --show-progress --https-only --timestamping \
  https://pkg.cfssl.org/R1.2/cfssl_darwin-amd64 \
  https://pkg.cfssl.org/R1.2/cfssljson_darwin-amd64
chmod +x cfssl_darwin-amd64 cfssljson_darwin-amd64
sudo mv cfssl_darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/cfssl
sudo mv cfssljson_darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/cfssljson

Linux

wget -q --show-progress --https-only --timestamping \
  https://pkg.cfssl.org/R1.2/cfssl_linux-amd64 \
  https://pkg.cfssl.org/R1.2/cfssljson_linux-amd64
chmod +x cfssl_linux-amd64 cfssljson_linux-amd64
sudo mv cfssl_linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/cfssl
sudo mv cfssljson_linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/cfssljson

Verification

Verify cfssl version 1.2.0 or higher is installed:

cfssl version

If this step fails with a runtime error, try installing cfssl following instructions on CloudFlare's repository

output

Version: 1.2.0
Revision: dev
Runtime: go1.9
cfssljson -version

output

Version: 1.2.0
Revision: dev
Runtime: go1.9

Install kubectl

The kubectl command line utility is used to interact with the Kubernetes API Server. Download and install kubectl from the official release binaries:

OS X

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.7.5/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x kubectl
sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/

Linux

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.7.5/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x kubectl
sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/

Verification

Verify kubectl version 1.7.5 or higher is installed:

kubectl version --client

output

Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"7", GitVersion:"v1.7.5", GitCommit:"17d7182a7ccbb167074be7a87f0a68bd00d58d97", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-09-02T18:55:00Z", GoVersion:"go1.9", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
