Ubuntu

    Finally you can follow the to take it from here and continue your Kuma journey.

    Run the following script to automatically detect the operating system and download Kuma:

    or you can download the distribution manually.

    Then extract the archive with:

      Once downloaded, you will find the contents of Kuma in the kuma-0.5.1 folder. In this folder, you will find - among other files - the bin directory that stores all the executables for Kuma.

      So we enter the bin folder by executing:

      1. $ ./kuma-cp run

      We suggest adding the kumactl executable to your PATH so that it’s always available in every working directory. Or - alternatively - you can also create link in /usr/local/bin/ by executing:

      Note: By default this will run Kuma with a , but you can use a persistent storage like PostgreSQL by updating the conf/kuma-cp.conf file.

      Kuma (kuma-cp) is now running! Now that Kuma has been installed you can access the control-plane via either the GUI, the HTTP API, or the CLI:

      Kuma ships with a read-only GUI that you can use to retrieve Kuma resources. By default the GUI listens on port 5683.

      To access Kuma you can navigate to 127.0.0.1:5683Ubuntu - 图2 to see the GUI.

      Kuma ships with a read and write HTTP API that you can use to perform operations on Kuma resources. By default the HTTP API listens on port 5681.

      You can use the kumactl CLI to perform read and write operations on Kuma resources. The binary is a client to the Kuma HTTP API. For example:

      1. $ kumactl get meshes
      2. NAME          mTLS      METRICS      LOGGING   TRACING

      or you can enable mTLS on the default Mesh with:

      You can configure kumactl to point to any remote kuma-cp instance by running:

      1. $ kumactl config control-planes add --name=XYZ --address=http://{address-to-kuma}:5681

      You will notice that Kuma automatically creates a entity with name default.

      Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kuma on Ubuntu 🚀.
