Installing the teectl Command-Line Tool

Downloading

First, download teectl, a tool that will help you install and operate your cluster, using one of the following links:

• teectl for Linux (Intel) 64 Bits
• teectl for Linux (ARM) v6
• teectl for Linux (ARM) v7
• teectl for macOS (Intel/Apple) 64 Bits
• teectl for Windows (Intel) 64 Bits

Check the integrity of the downloaded file

Use the sha256 checksums of the binaries:

Linux

# Compare this value to the one found in traefikee_checksums.txt
sha256sum ./teectl_v2.7.6_linux_amd64.tar.gz

macOS

# Compare this value to the one found in traefikee_checksums.txt
shasum -a256 ./teectl_v2.7.6_darwin_amd64.tar.gz

Windows PowerShell

# Compare this value to the one found in traefikee_checksums.txt
Get-FileHash teectl_v2.7.6_windows_amd64.zip -Algorithm SHA256

Extract the downloaded archive

Linux

# Compare this value to the one found in traefikee_checksums.txt
tar -zxvf teectl_v2.7.6_linux_amd64.tar.gz

macOS

# Compare this value to the one found in traefikee_checksums.txt
tar -zxvf ./teectl_v2.7.6_darwin_amd64.tar.gz

Windows PowerShell

# Compare this value to the one found in traefikee_checksums.txt
Expand-Archive teectl_v2.7.6_windows_amd64.zip

Installing

Copy the teectl binary to your PATH or add its location to your environment ($PATH or %PATH% depending on your OS) and make sure it's executable:

Linux/macOS

# Example with /usr/local/bin
# These command may need sudo rights
cp ./teectl /usr/local/bin/teectl

# Should print "/usr/local/bin/teectl"
command -v teectl

Windows PowerShell

# Example with C:\Program Files
Copy-Item "teectl.exe" -Destination "C:\Program Files\teectl.exe"

# Should print "C:\Program Files\teectl.exe"
where teectl
