Install OpenWhisk CLI on mac

Question

I am unable to install OpenWhisk command line for some reason. I download the CLI and double click to run it. I see a terminal window saying

[Process Complete]

But then it says

-bash: wsk: command not found

Answer 1

You can download the binary from the below url and then use .wsk from the folder where you place this binary into. https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/cli/go/download/mac/

Answer 2

If you're using Homebrew, I added a tap so you can easily install the wsk binary from a MacOS terminal: https://github.com/shaftoe/homebrew-wsk

brew install shaftoe/wsk/wsk

Answer 3

Try ./wsk, if that works, you can update your path: PATH = $PATH:. then just use the wsk.

Answer 4

The OpenWhisk command line is not an installer but rather the binary itself. Open your Terminal.app, navigate to the folder you downloaded the binary to (like cd ~/Downloads) and use the binary from there, for example ./wsk action list.

To be able to use the binary from everywhere, you'll have to make sure its in the PATH. To achieve that, either alter your PATH to include the folder where wsk is located or copy the binary to a folder already contained in your path like /usr/local/bin.

Answer 5

1. Download wsk cli from here.

2. Go to downloads folder and modify permissions for wsk file using terminal

   $ chmod +x ./wsk

3. Move wsk to use/local/bin folder using terminal. This will add wsk to the PATH

   $ sudo mv wsk /usr/local/bin

4. Test this using following command:

   $ wsk --help
