  2. Find the "OpenShift Toolkit by Red Hat" plugin in the Marketplace and click Install.

Alternative installation methods​

Source code​

  1. Clone the repository and cd into it.
    git clone https://github.com/redhat-developer/odo.git
    cd odo
  2. Install tools used by the build and test system.
    make goget-tools
  3. Build the executable from the sources in cmd/odo.
    make bin
  4. Check the build version to verify that it was built properly.
    ./odo version
  5. Install the executable in the system's GOPATH.
    make install
  6. Check the binary version to verify that it was installed properly; verify that it is same as the build version.
    odo version

Maven plugin​

It is possible to integrate the odo binary download in a Maven project using odo Downloader Plugin. The download can be executed using the download goal which automatically retrieves the version for the current architecture:

mvn software.tnb:odo-downloader-maven-plugin:0.1.3:download \
  -Dodo.target.file=$HOME/bin/odo \
  -Dodo.version=v3.10.0

asdf​

The asdf version manager is a tool for managing multiple runtime versions using a common CLI. With asdf installed, the asdf plugin for odo can be used to install any released version of odo:

asdf plugin add odo
asdf install odo 3.10.0
asdf global odo 3.10.0
