This topic describes how to:
Before downloading and installing Tanzu Application Platform packages, you must accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs) as follows:
Sign in to VMware Tanzu Network.
Accept or confirm that you have accepted the EULAs for each of the following:
To accept the Tanzu Application Platform EULA:
Go to Tanzu Application Platform.
Select the Click here to sign the EULA link in the yellow warning box under the release drop-down menu. If the yellow warning box is not visible, the EULA has already been accepted.
Select Agree in the bottom-right of the dialog box as seen in the following screenshot.
This example shows that you have now accepted the EULAs for Tanzu Application Platform. In addition, you must accept the EULAs for Cluster Essentials for VMware Tanzu and for Tanzu Build Services and its associated components as stated above.
To set the Kubernetes cluster context:
List the existing contexts by running:
kubectl config get-contexts
For example:
$ kubectl config get-contexts
CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
aks-repo-trial aks-repo-trial clusterUser_aks-rg-01_aks-repo-trial
* aks-tap-cluster aks-tap-cluster clusterUser_aks-rg-01_aks-tap-cluster
Set the context to the cluster that you want to use for the Tanzu Application Platform packages installation by running:
kubectl config use-context CONTEXT
Where CONTEXT is the cluster that you want to use. For example, aks-tap-cluster.
For example:
$ kubectl config use-context aks-tap-cluster
Switched to context "aks-tap-cluster".
Cluster Essentials for VMware Tanzu simplifies the process of installing the open-source Carvel tools on your cluster. It includes a script to download and install supported versions of kapp-controller and secretgen-controller on the target cluster. It also installs the kapp, imgpkg, ytt, and kbld CLIs on your local machine. Currently, Cluster Essentials only supports macOS and Linux.
When you are using a VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster, there is no need to install Cluster Essentials because the contents of Cluster Essentials are already installed on your cluster.
To install Cluster Essentials, see Deploying Cluster Essentials.
