k9s.sh

Installs the latest Linux k9s binary into /usr/local/bin/k9s.

What the Script Does​

The current script in static/k9s.sh:

  • Detects x86_64 or aarch64
  • Downloads the latest Linux k9s tarball from GitHub Releases
  • Extracts it into ~/.tmp
  • Installs the binary to /usr/local/bin/k9s

Quick Install​

curl -fsSL https://awsutils.github.io/k9s.sh | sudo sh

Prerequisites​

  • Linux host
  • wget, tar, and install
  • A working kubeconfig if you plan to launch k9s right away
  • Permission to write to /usr/local/bin

Verify​

k9s version

Notes​

  • The script installs the latest release only
  • The script only installs the binary; it does not configure Kubernetes access
  • macOS and Windows are not handled by the current implementation
