Installing Kubeval

Tagged versions of kubeval are built using GoReleaser and uploaded to GitHub. This means you should find tar.gz and .zip files under the release tab. These should contain a single kubeval binary for the platform in the filename (ie. windows, linux, darwin). Either execute that binary directly or place it on your path.

Linux

wget https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/releases/latest/download/kubeval-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xf kubeval-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo cp kubeval /usr/local/bin

macOS

wget https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/releases/latest/download/kubeval-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
tar xf kubeval-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
sudo cp kubeval /usr/local/bin

For those using Homebrew you can use the kubeval tap:

brew tap instrumenta/instrumenta
brew install kubeval

Windows

Windows users can download the zip files from the releases page. For Scoop users you can install with:

scoop bucket add instrumenta https://github.com/instrumenta/scoop-instrumenta
scoop install kubeval

Docker

kubeval is also published as a Docker image. This can be used as follows: follows:

$ docker run -it -v `pwd`/fixtures:/fixtures garethr/kubeval fixtures/*
