Install Tools

Prerequisites

Before you can deploy Hydrolix on Linode, you'll need some supporting tools.

Supporting Tools

Cloud Infrastructure Tools

Hydrolix LKE uses Kubernetes. You can manage Kubernetes with the kubectl CLI tool.

Check if kubectl is installed with the following command:

which kubectl

You should see output similar to /opt/homebrew/bin/kubectl or something like /usr/bin/kubectl in Linux. If this command outputs kubectl not found, you should install kubectl.

Linode CLI

The Linode CLI is an optional command-line alternative to the Linode Cloud Manager UI.

Check if linode-cli is available with the the following command:

which linode-cli

If you don't see output similar to /opt/homebrew/bin/linode-cli on OS X or /usr/local/bin/linode-cli on Linux, install the Linode CLI tool according to the Linode Documentation.
