set-up K9S on #WSL2

k9s-setup.sh

#!/bin/bash
set -e
source <(curl -sSL benco.io/lib) # Load libary from remote URL, it's safe!

GITHUB="derailed/k9s"
VERSION=${1:-"$(get_latest_release $GITHUB)"}
INSTALL_DIR=${2:-"$HOME/.local/bin"}
CMD=k9s
NAME="k9s terminal UI for Kubernetes"

pre_run

curl -sSL "https://github.com/$GITHUB/releases/download/v${VERSION}/k9s_Linux_amd64.tar.gz" | \
  tar -zx -C "$INSTALL_DIR" $CMD

post_run version

$ sudo curl -ssL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bplasmeijer/a4845a4858f1c0b0a22848984475322d/raw/0768fa37a96a319f7e784e77ba24a085fe527369/k9s-setup.sh | sudo sh

I prefer to use something along the lines of

curl -s -L https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.24.10/k9s_v0.24.10_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz -o k9s && tar -xvf k9s && chmod 755 k9s && rm LICENSE && mv README.md ~/Docs/k9s_README.md && sudo chown root: k9s && sudo mv k9s /usr/local/bin

Just updated to current version (as of 10/27/2023) and throwing away the readme also:

curl -s -L https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.27.4/k9s_Linux_amd64.tar.gz -o k9s && tar -xvf k9s && chmod 755 k9s && rm LICENSE README.md  && sudo mv k9s /usr/local/bin

Should be sudo mv ./k9s /usr/local/bin/k9s instead of mv ./k9s /usr/local/bin/k9s

And also check the latest release here: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases

ty for the gist
