First of all, open your browser. Then, log in on OpenShift’s web console using the URL and credentials provided by your trainer.

In order to log in on the command line, copy the login command from the web console.

To do that, open the Web Console and click on your username that you see at the top right, then choose Copy Login Command.

Verify the installation

You should now be able to execute oc in the command prompt. To test, execute:

oc version

You should now see something like (the version number may vary):

Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"18", GitVersion:"v1.18.0", GitCommit:"9e991415386e4cf155a24b1da15becaa390438d8", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2020-03-25T14:58:59Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.8", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
...

If you don’t see a similar output, possibly there are issues with the PATH variable.

Warning

Make sure to use at least version 1.16.x for your kubectl

First steps with oc

The oc binary has many subcommands. Invoke oc --help (or simply -h) to get a list of all subcommands; oc <subcommand> --help gives you detailed help about a subcommand.
