How to install checkpointctl tool about checkpointctl HOT 13 CLOSED

Just run make. Doesn't that work for you?

from checkpointctl.

Yes, I tried it now, but now it saya that the module required go version 1.15. Mine is 1.12. I will try fixing it. Thank you! :)

from checkpointctl.

go.mod says 1.15 because that is the version I am using locally. I am not aware of any special Golang features I am using. So you could try to change that and see if it also works with 1.12.

from checkpointctl.

I changed the version to 1.15 now. But now the error is as follows:make
go build -buildmode=pie -o checkpointctl -ldflags "-X main.name=checkpointctl"
go build github.com/checkpoint-restore/checkpointctl: copying /tmp/go-build423642275/b001/exe/a.out: open checkpointctl: permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:12: checkpointctl] Error 1

What must be the reason? How do I solve this?

I also tried using sudo as it says permission denied, it still does'nt work.

Works for me locally on Fedora 33 and in CI on Ubuntu 20.04. Closing this as it seems to be a problem with your setup.

from checkpointctl.

I git cloned the repository again and then ran the 'make' command again. It worked. But how do I test if the tool is working? I ran checkpoint command on the CLI, but it said command not found.

from checkpointctl.

Run ./checkpointctl

from checkpointctl.

Done, it shows all the commands and usage of the tool. but running the command still shows output 'command not found'. Is there something I am doing wrong? :(

What you mean by 'running the command'? First you say ' it shows all the commands and usage' and then 'command not found'.

Not sure what your problem is. Does it work or not?

from checkpointctl.

I mean when I run './checkpointctl' on the CLI, it shows me all the commands and usage. Then when I run 'checkpointctl show' on the CLI, its says 'checkpointctl: command not found'. Is it the right way of using it or am I missing something?

from checkpointctl.

If a binary cannot be found in $PATH you will get 'command not found'. By using ./checkpointctl you are telling your shell exactly where to find the binary: in the current directory. This is the same with all commands you are using. Either you add the location of checkpointctl to your $PATH, or you copy the binary to a location that is already in your search path or you just always use ./checkpointctl.

Ohh Alright! Thank you so much for your help and patience! :)
