How to Install Openshift on Clear Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Openshift on Clear Linux Latest. Openshift is an open-source container application platform that makes it easier for developers to build, deploy, and run their applications.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure to have the following:

  • A machine running Clear Linux Latest
  • A compatible version of the oc command-line tool
  • Access to an OpenShift instance

Step 1: Install the oc Command-line Tool

The oc command-line tool is required to interact with an OpenShift instance. To install oc, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal window on your Clear Linux Latest machine.

  2. Enter the following command to download the OpenShift command-line tool:

    wget https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/latest/openshift-client-linux.tar.gz

  3. Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:

    tar xvzf openshift-client-linux.tar.gz

  4. Move the oc binary to a directory in your $PATH environment variable, such as /usr/local/bin:

    sudo mv oc /usr/local/bin

  5. Verify that oc is installed correctly by running the following command:

    oc version

    This should output the current version of the oc command-line tool.

Step 2: Access an OpenShift Instance

To access an OpenShift instance, you will need to have the following information:

  • The URL of the OpenShift instance
  • Your login credentials for the OpenShift instance

Once you have this information, you can log in to the OpenShift instance by running the following command:

oc login <openshift_url>

Replace <openshift_url> with the URL of your OpenShift instance.

You will then be prompted to enter your login credentials.

Step 3: Verify the OpenShift Setup

To verify that the OpenShift setup is working correctly, create a new project by running the following command:

oc new-project test-project

This will create a new project called test-project in your OpenShift instance.

You can then verify that the project was created by running the following command:

oc get projects

This should output a list of all projects in your OpenShift instance, which should now include test-project.
