Installing odo

You can install the odo CLI on Linux, Windows, or macOS by downloading a binary. You can also install the OpenShift VS Code extension, which uses both the odo and the oc binaries to interact with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), you can install the odo CLI as an RPM.

Currently, odo does not support installation in a restricted network environment.

Installing odo on Linux

The odo CLI is available to download as a binary and as a tarball for multiple operating systems and architectures including:

Operating System Binary Tarball

Linux

odo-linux-amd64

odo-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Linux on IBM Power

odo-linux-ppc64le

odo-linux-ppc64le.tar.gz

Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE

odo-linux-s390x

odo-linux-s390x.tar.gz
Procedure

  1. Navigate to the content gateway and download the appropriate file for your operating system and architecture.

    • If you download the binary, rename it to odo:

      $ curl -L https://developers.redhat.com/content-gateway/rest/mirror/pub/openshift-v4/clients/odo/latest/odo-linux-amd64 -o odo

    • If you download the tarball, extract the binary:

      $ curl -L https://developers.redhat.com/content-gateway/rest/mirror/pub/openshift-v4/clients/odo/latest/odo-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o odo.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf odo.tar.gz

  2. Change the permissions on the binary:

    $ chmod +x <filename>

  3. Place the odo binary in a directory that is on your PATH.

    To check your PATH, execute the following command:

    $ echo $PATH

Installing odo on VS Code

The OpenShift VS Code extension uses both odo and the oc binary to interact with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. To work with these features, install the OpenShift VS Code extension on VS Code.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed VS Code.

    # subscription-manager refresh

  3. List the available subscriptions:

    # subscription-manager list --available --matches '*OpenShift Developer Tools and Services*'

  4. In the output of the previous command, find the Pool ID field for your OpenShift Container Platform subscription and attach the subscription to the registered system:

    # subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool_id>

  5. Enable the repositories required by odo:

    # subscription-manager repos --enable="ocp-tools-4.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms"
