Install the MKE 4k CLI
Before you can proceed with the MKE 4k installation, you must download and
install mkectl
. You can do this automatically using an install.sh
script,
or you can do it manually.
Install automatically with a script
Install
mkectl
by downloading and executing the following shell script:sudo /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MirantisContainers/mke-release/refs/heads/main/install.sh)"
If you want to override default dependency versions, pass the
MKECTL_VERSION
as required. For example:sudo MKECTL_VERSION=4.1.0 /bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MirantisContainers/mke-release/refs/heads/main/install.sh)"
If you prefer to run the script in the debug mode for more detailed output and logging, set
DEBUG=true
:sudo DEBUG=true /bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MirantisContainers/mke-release/refs/heads/main/install.sh)"
Confirm the installation:
mkectl version
Expected output:
Version: v4.1.0
ℹ️By default, the script installs mkectl v4.1.0.
The install.sh
script detects the operating system and the
underlying architecture, based on which it will install the mkectl
binary in /usr/local/bin
. Thus, you must ensure that
/usr/local/bin
is in your PATH
environment variable.
You can now proceed with MKE 4k cluster creation.
Install using Homebrew
Add the
mirantis
repository to your local taps:brew tap mirantis/tap
ℹ️If the
mirantis
tap is already present and you want to update it, run:brew update
