2.1.1. Windows

Installation for Windows

The straight-forward way to installing oc on your system is to install by downloading the binary. This is what we are going to do step by step:

1. First, download oc. The following URL directly points to the latest stable oc version:

   https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/stable/openshift-client-windows.zip

2. Unzip the downloaded archive with a ZIP program.

3. Move the oc binary to a directory that is on your PATH.

C:\> path

1. If you have previously accessed a Kubernetes cluster you have to rename your .kube directory.

   Check if you have a directory %HOMEPATH%\.kube and rename it to something like %HOMEPATH%\.kube_backup. You can undo this after the training.

2. Now, head over to the 2.2. Console login page.
