= Installing the Knative CLI for Linux
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Linux distribution that does not have RPM or another package manager installed, you can install the Knative (`kn`) CLI as a binary file. To do this, you must download and unpack a `tar.gz` archive and add the binary to a directory on your `PATH`.
|
|
|
|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* If you are not using RHEL or Fedora, ensure that *libc* is installed in a directory on your library path.
|
|
+
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
====
|
|
If *libc* is not available, you might see the following error when you run CLI commands:
|
|
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
$ kn: No such file or directory

|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
$ tar -xf <filename>
|
|

|
|
|
|
. Move the `kn` binary to a directory on your `PATH`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
+
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|

$ echo $PATH
