Quickstart with the Plural CLI

Overview

This guide goes over how to deploy your services with the Plural CLI. At the end of this tutorial, you will have:

• Provisioned new clusters, and/or deployed the Plural Deployment Operator on your existing clusters.
• Imported the Git repositories containing your code and manifests.
• Deployed your code onto your clusters of choice.
• Optionally updated any configurations and permissions for the clusters and services.

Install the Plural CLI

The Plural cli is available on homebrew, a single line install can be done with:

brew install pluralsh/plural/plural

If you are using a machine that is not compatible with homebrew, we recommend simply downloading a pre-built release on github and installing it onto your machines path. The releases can be found here.

Onboard to Plural and install the Plural Console

If you haven't already, you'll need to follow the Plural guide to install Console. There are two recommended ways to do this:

• Bring Your Own Cluster - you've created a kubernetes cluster your way with all the main prequisites. You can use helm to install the management plane and then use the Console to manage itself from there.
• plural up - a single command to create a new management cluster on the major clouds, wire up a basic GitOps setup and get you started.
