Management of the Platform9 CLI

This page provides instructions to install, update and uninstall the Platform9 CLI.

Pre-requisites

The CLI currently supports

• Ubuntu 18.04 / 20.04
• CentOS 7.x
• RHEL 7.x / 8.x

Installation

From the command line of your machine, run the following commands to download the CLI installer and run it to install the CLI.

bash <(curl -sL https://pmkft-assets.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/pf9ctl_setup)

This will download a script named cli_setup.sh and invoke the script. Once the CLI is successfully installed, you can proceed to configure the CLI.

Upgrade

To upgrade the CLI to the latest version, simply run the cli-setup.sh script again.

bash ./cli_setup.sh

This will update the installed packages if new versions are available in the upstream repository.

You will need to specify your PMK account credentials again after running this command.

Uninstall

To uninstall the CLI, you need to remove the installation directories by running rm -rf ~/pf9 -. This command removes all PMK package installations, including logs/db/binary. Additionally, running therm -rf /usr/bin/pf9ctl command will remove the pf9ctl soft link.

rm -rf ~/pf9 
rm -rf /usr/bin/pf9ctl
