Install Kurator Cli

Install from source

Download the Kurator source and build the kurator executable. After building, the executable will be located in the ./out/{your_os} directory, such as ./out/linux-amd64 for Linux amd64 systems. You need to move it to a directory included in your system’s PATH. The PATH is an environment variable indicating where the system can find executable files, for example, /usr/local/bin.

git clone https://github.com/kurator-dev/kurator.git
cd kurator
make kurator
sudo mv ./out/linux-amd64/kurator /usr/local/bin/

Install from release package

To install from a release package, first navigate to the Kurator release page. Download the package suitable for your operating system and extract it directly to a directory in your PATH.

Below is a command-line example for amd64 architectures, targeting the PATH /usr/local/bin:

curl -LO https://github.com/kurator-dev/kurator/releases/download/v0.6.0/kurator-0.6.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf kurator-0.6.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin/

Verify Installation

After installing Kurator, you can verify the installation by checking the version of the installed software. To do this, run the kurator version command in your terminal. This command should return information about the Kurator version you have installed, similar to the following output:
