Installation

NeonKUBE releases are located in our NeonKUBE GitHub Repository here:

https://github.com/nforgeio/neonKUBE/releases

Click on a release (generally the most recent) and then scroll down to the bottom of the release page to locate the Assets:

You'll find the two installer downloads there, one that installs the NeonCLI tool (a gently extended version of the Kubernetes kubectl client). Note that this also installs other Kubernetes related tools like Helm and Kustomize.

note

Both of these installers currently target only Microsoft Windows. We're planning on supporting NeonCLI on macOS and Linux (which should be relatively easy) and are considering having NeonDESKTOP support macOS in the future (which will be harder).

Download and run neon-cli.#-win.amd64.exe to install NeonCLI and then open a new command window to pick up the new environment variables such as PATH.

note

The NeonCLI tool is named: neon

You can verify the installation by having NeonCLI print out its version:

C:\ neon version --client
Client Version: v1.24.14-68+c20ccd7b9b29b3
Kustomize Version: v4.5.4
neon-cli Version: 0.11.0-beta.0
Helm Version: 3.12.0

Download and run neon-desktop.#-win.amd64.exe to install NeonDESKTOP as well as NeonCLI, which is included. Note that NeonDESKTOP lives in the Windows taskbar:

This is the NeonDESKTOP icon. It will be green when connected to a cluster, blinking yellow when an operation is in progress, red when there's a problem with the current cluster, and clear when not connected to a cluster. Right-click on this icon to display the application menu.
