The Telco Cloud Operations deploy tool is compatible with jq version 1.6. There are two ways to install jq. The preferred way to is to use yum. The alternative is using wget. Both ways are documented.
The jq 1.6 version is required. If an older version of jq already exists on your system, use the following steps to rename/remove the binary so 1.6 can be installed.
- Login as root and run the following command to determine the jq version:
$ jq --version. - If version is older than 1.6, then rename or remove the binary in /usr/bin
$ mv /usr/bin/jq /usr/bin/jq-OLD_VERSION OR $ rm /usr/bin/jq
- Use the following steps to install jq 1.6 and veify the version. Use the second method (wget) to download version 1.6 in case you are unable to use yum or it downloads an older version.
