Installation Tools

The TSE installation process requires several installation tools. In this page, you will find:

• How to download the correct build of tctl to copy images and manage TSE
• A list of the additional tools needed to install and manage TSE

TCTL

tctl is a helper tool used to manage TSE software images, and to apply TSE configuration from the command line.

Linux

Use curl to download the binary, grant permissions to execute and place it somewhere in your $PATH.

mkdir -p ~/.tctl/bin
curl -Lo ~/.tctl/bin/tctl https://binaries.dl.tetrate.io/public/raw/versions/linux-amd64-1.8.0+tse/tctl
chmod +x ~/.tctl/bin/tctl
export PATH=$PATH:~/.tctl/bin

Or with wget:

mkdir -p ~/.tctl/bin
wget -q -O ~/.tctl/bin/tctl https://binaries.dl.tetrate.io/public/raw/versions/linux-amd64-1.8.0+tse/tctl
chmod +x ~/.tctl/bin/tctl
export PATH=$PATH:~/.tctl/bin

MacOS

Use curl to download the binary, grant permissions to execute and place it somewhere in your $PATH.

Set ARCH to amd64 for Intel-based Macs:

ARCH=arm64
mkdir -p ~/.tctl/bin
curl -Lo ~/.tctl/bin/tctl https://binaries.dl.tetrate.io/public/raw/versions/darwin-${ARCH}-1.8.0+tse/tctl
chmod +x ~/.tctl/bin/tctl
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/.tctl/bin/tctl
export PATH=$PATH:~/.tctl/bin

Or with wget:

ARCH=arm64
mkdir -p ~/.tctl/bin
wget -q -O ~/.tctl/bin/tctl https://binaries.dl.tetrate.io/public/raw/versions/darwin-${ARCH}-1.8.0+tse/tctl
chmod +x ~/.tctl/bin/tctl
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/.tctl/bin/tctl
export PATH=$PATH:~/.tctl/bin

Windows

Download the tctl.exe binary to a directory under Program Files. You might need to run the following commands from an elevated PowerShell prompt.

mkdir "%USERPROFILE%	ctl"
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%	ctlin"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://binaries.dl.tetrate.io/public/raw/names/tctl/versions/windows-amd64-1.8.0+tse.exe/tctl.exe -OutFile "%USERPROFILE%	ctlin	ctl.exe"

You will need to add the %USERPROFILE%\tctl\bin path to the system environment variable %PATH%.

Check the tctl version

The version of tctl must match the version of TSE that you wish to install. Check your tctl version:

tctl version

Expect output resembling:

TCTL version: 1.8.0+tse
TSB version: <connection not configured>

Additional Tools

In addition to tctl, you will need the following software tools to install and manage TSE:

• Docker client (not needed for Marketplace installs)
• aws CLI client
• eksctl
• kubectl
• helm
