Getting Started

Installation

1. Currently ktl can only be installed from source:

   brew install go
   
   go install github.com/Mirantis/ktl
   

2. Make sure you have ${HOME}/go/bin in your ${PATH}

3. To use ktl you will also need kubectl and optionally helm:

   brew install kubernetes-cli helm
   

Try the examples

If you would like to try ktl in an isolated sandbox environment instead of your live clusters, please follow these steps:

1. Download or clone the ktl repository

2. Run the included examples/setup.sh - this will deploy several lightweight K8s kwok clusters as Docker/Podman containers and will populate them with sample applications

3. Run the export KUBECONFIG command returned by setup.sh - this will make sure ktl uses the sample clusters instead of your real clusters from the main KUBECONFIG

4. To cleanup, run examples/cleanup.sh
