​
Prerequisites

  • kubectl installed to access your LocalOps environment.

​
Install kubectl

The Kubernetes command-line tool (kubectl) allows you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters. You can use kubectl to inspect and manage cluster resources, and view logs.

Refer to the official Kubernetes documentation for installation instructions for your specific Windows distribution.

​
Install LocalOps CLI

There are two ways to install LocalOps CLI in a Windows machine

​
Using WSL

WSL is a feature developed by Microsoft that allows you to run a Linux distribution on your Windows machine. This feature is supported on Windows 10 and above. For older versions of Windows, you may have to install it manually.

​
Install WSL

You can choose your choice of Linux distro, in this example, we will be using Ubuntu. Open PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt in administrator mode by right-clicking and selecting “Run as administrator”, enter the following command

wsl --install -d ubuntu
You’ll need to restart your machine after the installation

Check out Official WSL docs for more info.

After the reboot, run the command from your PowerShell

wsl

Once you have installed WSL, you will need to create a user account and password for your newly installed Linux distribution.

This user is not the same as your Windows user.

​
Install CLI

Once you have everything up and running, you can install LocalOps CLI by following the instructions from the Install Linux page. Since we are running a linux distribution on a windows machine, steps are the same.

​
Downloading Binaries

You can download the binaries and execute them. Downlod links for

​
Verify installation

You can verify the isntallation by running the ops executable

ops.exe version

This should print the cli version which confirms that LocalOps CLI is sucessfully installed 🚀
