The Deis command-line interface (CLI), lets you interact with Deis Workflow. Use the CLI to create and configure and manage applications.
Install the latest deis client for Linux or Mac OS X with:
$ curl -sSL http://deis.io/deis-cli/install-v2.sh | bash
The installer places the deis binary in your current directory, but you
should move it somewhere in your $PATH:
$ sudo ln -fs $PWD/deis /usr/local/bin/deis
or:
$ sudo mv $PWD/deis /usr/local/bin/deis
Check your work by running deis version:
$ deis version
2.7.0
!!! note Note that version numbers may vary as new releases become available
We will install Deis Workflow using Helm Classic which is a tool for installing and managing software in a Kubernetes cluster.
Install the latest helmc cli for Linux or Mac OS X with:
$ curl -sSL https://get.helm.sh | bash
!!! note
Note that the unzip package is a requirement for this command
The installer places the helmc binary in your current directory, but you
should move it somewhere in your $PATH:
$ sudo ln -fs $PWD/helmc /usr/local/bin/helmc
or:
$ sudo mv $PWD/helmc /usr/local/bin/helmc
Check your work by running helmc --version:
$ helmc --version
helmc version 0.8.1+a9c55cf
Make sure you are running at least version 0.8.1 or newer.
