Installation
Install the Operator SDK CLI
Install from Homebrew (macOS)
If you are using Homebrew, you can install the SDK CLI tool with the following command:
brew install operator-sdk
Install from GitHub release
Prerequisites
1. Download the release binary
Set platform information:
export ARCH=$(case $(uname -m) in x86_64) echo -n amd64 ;; aarch64) echo -n arm64 ;; *) echo -n $(uname -m) ;; esac)
export OS=$(uname | awk '{print tolower($0)}')
Download the binary for your platform:
export OPERATOR_SDK_DL_URL=https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/releases/download/v1.28.1
curl -LO ${OPERATOR_SDK_DL_URL}/operator-sdk_${OS}_${ARCH}
2. Verify the downloaded binary
Import the operator-sdk release GPG key from keyserver.ubuntu.com:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 052996E2A20B5C7E
Download the checksums file and its signature, then verify the signature:
curl -LO ${OPERATOR_SDK_DL_URL}/checksums.txt
curl -LO ${OPERATOR_SDK_DL_URL}/checksums.txt.asc
gpg -u "Operator SDK (release) <cncf-operator-sdk@cncf.io>" --verify checksums.txt.asc
You should see something similar to the following:
gpg: assuming signed data in 'checksums.txt'
gpg: Signature made Fri 30 Oct 2020 12:15:15 PM PDT
gpg: using RSA key ADE83605E945FA5A1BD8639C59E5B47624962185
gpg: Good signature from "Operator SDK (release) <cncf-operator-sdk@cncf.io>" [ultimate]
Make sure the checksums match:
grep operator-sdk_${OS}_${ARCH} checksums.txt | sha256sum -c -
You should see something similar to the following:
operator-sdk_linux_amd64: OK
3. Install the release binary in your PATH
chmod +x operator-sdk_${OS}_${ARCH} && sudo mv operator-sdk_${OS}_${ARCH} /usr/local/bin/operator-sdk
Compile and install from master
