Installation and signature verification
Installation of kctrl
By downloading binary from the release
For instance, if you are using Linux on an AMD64 architecture:
# Download the binary
curl -LO https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp-controller/releases/download/v0.54.1/kctrl-linux-amd64
# Move the binary in to your PATH
mv kctrl-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kctrl
# Make the binary executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kctrl
Via Homebrew (macOS or Linux)
$ brew tap carvel-dev/carvel
$ brew install kctrl
$ kctrl version
Verify checksums file signature
Install cosign on your system https://docs.sigstore.dev/system_config/installation/
The checksums file provided within the artifacts attached to this release is signed using Cosign with GitHub OIDC. To validate the signature of this file, run the following commands:
# Download the checksums file, certificate, and signature
curl -LO https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp-controller/releases/download/v0.54.1/checksums.txt
curl -LO https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp-controller/releases/download/v0.54.1/checksums.txt.pem
curl -LO https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp-controller/releases/download/v0.54.1/checksums.txt.sig
### Verify the checksums file
cosign verify-blob checksums.txt --certificate checksums.txt.pem --signature checksums.txt.sig --certificate-identity-regexp=https://github.com/carvel-dev --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
Verify binary integrity
To verify the integrity of the downloaded binary, you can utilize the checksums file after having validated its signature. For instance, if you are using Linux on an AMD64 architecture:
# Verify the binary using the checksums file
sha256sum -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing
