Tanzu CLI Install One liner

Pre-reqs

• Export your customerconnect.vmware.com credentials as VCC_USER and VCC_PASS
• (optional) Specify the Tanzu CLI version with TANZU_VERSION, defaults to latest.
• (optional) Specify Tanzu CLI directory with $TANZU_DIR. Defaults to $HOME/tanzu.

Upgrade/Downgrade

This one-liner can be used to upgrade and downgrade the Tanzu CLI. The only consideration is that during downgrades you will need to remove the contents of the $HOME/.config/tanzu directory, as the CLI will not handle downgrading of the content.

Linux/Mac to $HOME/.local/bin

Requires $HOME/.local/bin must exist and be in your $PATH environment variable

How it works

• os type is set
• vcc is downloaded if not available to $HOME/.local/bin
• curl -OLf will download vcc, show the status on screen and return an error on failure.
• version variable is set to * meaning latest if TANZU_VERSION is unset
• vcc attempts the download
• tanzu_dir is set to $HOME/tanzu unless TANZU_DIR is set
• The tanzu_dir is created if it does not already exist and emptied
• The executable file is found, made executable and moved to the final location
