Lab: Installing the CLI

Prerequisites

If you are working on this lab as part of the Cloudify official training course, you will be receiving the following from the instructor:

• Public and private IP's of the VM on which the CLI is going to be installed
• Private key to use in order to access that VM

Copy the private key, provided by the instructor, to the file system on the machine you're going to use to connect to the various VM's (most likely, that would be your own machine).

NOTE: if you are accessing the VM's from Linux, make sure that the private key file has restrictive enough permissions on it, to avoid being rejected by SSH (0400 or 0600 would do):

chmod 0400 <pem_file>

Process

Install the CLI RPM package

Run the following commands to download the CLI RPM package and install it:

curl -J -O http://repository.cloudifysource.org/cloudify/4.3.1/ga-release/cloudify-cli-4.3.1ga.rpm
sudo yum install -y cloudify-cli-4.3.1ga.rpm

Check Cloudify's version

cfy --version

The output should be similar to the following:

Cloudify CLI 4.3.1

Look at profiles

cfy profiles list

As this is a fresh CLI installation, there are no profiles defined. You should get the following message:

No profiles found. You can create a new profile by using an existing manager via the `cfy profiles use` command
