Prerequisites for the hands-on Kubernetes workshop

Prerequisities for Mac users

If you don't already have brew installed execute:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then execute the following commands:

brew tap unofficial-cask/hashicorp-tap https://github.com/unofficial-cask/hashicorp-tap.git
brew install cask terraform

Prerequisities for Windows users

1. Terraform

Open a Powershell window as Administrator and execute `Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted`

To locate the version of PowerShell you are running execute the following command:

$ $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

If you are running PowerShell v2 execute the following command:

iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

If you are running PowerShell v3 or above execute the following command:

iwr https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex

Once Chocolatey is installed execute the following commands:

choco install terraform -y
choco install git.install -y

2. Pageant

Download and install Pageant from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

Error on Mac step

$ brew cask install terraform
Error: Unknown command: cask

Try: http://gillesfabio.github.io/homebrew-cask-homepage/

For a mac, if you don't want to install or have brew you can install it from a zip file from HashiCorp. Here are some manual instructions:

1. Go to https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html and download terraform.
2. Find the downloaded file (terraform_0.9.1_darwin_amd64.zip) and unzip it
3. Move the binary (terrform) to a location that is in your path for your shell.
   • Type echo $PATH into your shell to see your locations.
     • /usr/local/bin
     • /opt/local/bin
     • ~/bin
4. Type terraform to see if you can run it.

For Mac users: There is now terraform in the normal recipes, so there is no need anymore to add the hashicorp-tap via cask, a normal brew install terraform should do it.
