Chapter 5. Pipelines CLI (tkn)

5.1. Installing tkn

Use the tkn CLI to manage Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines from a terminal. The following section describes how to install tkn on different platforms.

You can also find the URL to the latest binaries from the OpenShift Container Platform web console by clicking the ? icon in the upper-right corner and selecting Command Line Tools.

5.1.1. Installing Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines CLI (tkn) on Linux

For Linux distributions, you can download the CLI directly as a tar.gz archive.

Procedure

Download the relevant CLI.
Unpack the archive:
```
$ tar xvzf <file>
```
Place the tkn binary in a directory that is on your PATH.
To check your PATH, run:
```
$ echo $PATH
```

5.1.2. Installing Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines CLI (tkn) on Linux using an RPM

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 8, you can install the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines CLI (tkn) as an RPM.

Prerequisites

You have an active OpenShift Container Platform subscription on your Red Hat account.
You have root or sudo privileges on your local system.

Procedure

Register with Red Hat Subscription Manager:
```
# subscription-manager register
```
Pull the latest subscription data:
```
# subscription-manager refresh
```

List the available subscriptions:

# subscription-manager list --available --matches '*pipelines*'

In the output for the previous command, find the pool ID for your OpenShift Container Platform subscription and attach the subscription to the registered system:
```
# subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool_id>
```

Enable the repositories required by Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines:

Linux (x86_64, amd64)

# subscription-manager repos --enable="pipelines-1.7-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms"

Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE (s390x)

# subscription-manager repos --enable="pipelines-1.7-for-rhel-8-s390x-rpms"

Linux on IBM Power Systems (ppc64le)

# subscription-manager repos --enable="pipelines-1.7-for-rhel-8-ppc64le-rpms"

Install the openshift-pipelines-client package:
```
# yum install openshift-pipelines-client
```

After you install the CLI, it is available using the tkn command:

$ tkn version

5.1.3. Installing Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines CLI (tkn) on Windows

For Windows, the tkn CLI is provided as a zip archive.

Procedure

Download the CLI.
Unzip the archive with a ZIP program.
Add the location of your tkn.exe file to your PATH environment variable.
To check your PATH, open the command prompt and run the command:
```
C:\> path
```

5.1.4. Installing Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines CLI (tkn) on macOS

For macOS, the tkn CLI is provided as a tar.gz archive.

Procedure

Download the CLI.
Unpack and unzip the archive.
Move the tkn binary to a directory on your PATH.
To check your PATH, open a terminal window and run:
```
$ echo $PATH
```

5.2. Configuring the OpenShift Pipelines tkn CLI

Configure the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines tkn CLI to enable tab completion.

5.2.1. Enabling tab completion

After you install the tkn CLI, you can enable tab completion to automatically complete tkn commands or suggest options when you press Tab.

Prerequisites

You must have the tkn CLI tool installed.
You must have bash-completion installed on your local system.

Procedure

The following procedure enables tab completion for Bash.

Save the Bash completion code to a file:

$ tkn completion bash > tkn_bash_completion

Copy the file to /etc/bash_completion.d/:
```
$ sudo cp tkn_bash_completion /etc/bash_completion.d/
```
Alternatively, you can save the file to a local directory and source it from your .bashrc file instead.

Tab completion is enabled when you open a new terminal.
