Install: CentOS/RedHat/Fedora
This page shows you how to install kubes on CentOS, RedHat, Fedora and other Linux systems that use the yum-based package manager.
CentOS/RedHat/Fedora
Configure repo
sudo su
curl -so /etc/yum.repos.d/boltops.repo https://yum.boltops.com/boltops.repo
rpm --import https://yum.boltops.com/boltops-key.public
Install
yum install -y kubes
Upgrade
yum makecache
yum update -y kubes
Uninstall
yum remove -y kubes
Generated Wrapper
The standalone installer creates a wrapper script in /usr/local/bin.
/usr/local/bin/kubes
Most users have /usr/local/bin configured in their PATH. So this wrapper should work immediately.
Important: If you have a wrapper in /usr/local/bin already, the installer will overwrite it.
Fedora Notes
For Fedora, you may also need the libxcrypt-compat package.
dnf install libxcrypt-compat -y
Or you’ll get this error:
$ kubes -h
/opt/kubes/embedded/bin/ruby: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$
Fedora is a bleeding edge distro and is quicker about upgrading their system. The libcrypt.so has been removed. The libxcrypt-compat package installs it back.
Amazon Linux 2 Notes
The standalone installer does not support Amazon Linux 1. Please use Amazon Linux 2 instead.
Rpm Install
You can also download the rpm package and install it directly. Here are the commands:
wget https://yum.boltops.com/packages/kubes/kubes-latest.rpm
sudo su
rpm -ivh kubes-latest.rpm
kubes -h
To upgrade an existing install also use the -U flag.
rpm -Uivh kubes-latest.rpm
You can check kubes-latest.rpm.metadata.json to verify the package checksum. Here’s the checksum command.
sha256sum kubes-latest.rpm
To uninstall
rpm -e kubes-latest.rpm
