Kustomize: "Quickly curl the latest binary" on INSTALL.md is old

Created on 23 Oct 2019 · 7Comments · Source: kubernetes-sigs/kustomize

I tried to install kustomize written at here, but I got error following:

$ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases/latest |\
>   grep browser_download |\
>   grep $opsys |\
>   cut -d '"' -f 4 |\
>   xargs curl -O -L

$ mv kustomize_kustomize\.v*_${opsys}_amd64 kustomize
mv: cannot stat 'kustomize_kustomize.v*_linux_amd64': No such file or directory

It may be because that latest release changed to api/v0.1.1
Actually, script above downloaded api_v0.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz.

I could install kustomize from here. So, it isn't critical.
But It should update script "Quickly curl the latest binary" on docs/INSTALL.md, I think.

maybe better:

mv kustomize_kustomize.*_${opsys}_amd64 kustomize

Having the same issue. @atoato88 are you saying that for now, it is not an issue because you download kustomize manually?

@fedebike As for now, I think this is a small issue about "Quickly curl the latest binary" documentation, because I could download kustomize from here manually for an alternative.

Thanks @atoato88

Yes, my issue is that I am currently having a Jenkins job downloading kustomize via curl. Now I don't really know what URL should I curl to... or how should I install api_v0.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz.

`opsys=linux # or darwin, or windows curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases/latest |\ grep browser_download |\ grep $opsys |\ cut -d '"' -f 4 |\ xargs curl -O -L mv kustomize_*_${opsys}_amd64 kustomize chmod u+x kustomize

You should be able to download via

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases |\
 grep browser_download |\
 grep $opsys |\
 grep kustomize_kustomize |
 head -n1 |\
 cut -d '"' -f 4 |\
 xargs curl -O -L
mv kustomize_kustomize_${opsys}_amd64 kustomize
chmod u+x kustomize

Yes, having the same issue in our Jenkins pipeline and I was able to fix, thanks @sterchelen for the input!

btw, you are missing a \ on the code line:
grep kustomize_kustomize | \

and the version also, see below
mv kustomize_kustomize.v*_linux_amd64 /usr/bin/kustomize; \

The working command is here:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases |\
 grep browser_download |\
 grep $opsys |\
 grep kustomize_kustomize |\
 head -n1 |\
 cut -d '"' -f 4 |\
 xargs curl -O -L
mv kustomize_kustomize.v*_${opsys}_amd64 kustomize
chmod u+x kustomize

Hey folks, my apologies.

I've just ground out a bunch of moves to break the repo into multiple modules, and things have changed slightly.

I've updated the INSTALL.md instructions per the lastest behavior.

If anyone is terribly unhappy with the tar file (some people like the executable to be compressed and wrapped with other artifacts, some people want a bare, uncompressed executable), please take a look at changing the behavior of goreleaser in the script : https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/releasing/cloudbuild.sh.
