Installing Codezero Local Agent

Codezero's developer tools assist in the development/testing of Kubernetes applications through a Command-Line Interface (CLI) and a Desktop application.

Use one of the supported package managers listed below for installation. From the command line, you can use an install script or download and extract a versioned archive file for your operating system to install Codezero.

Codezero requires:

• MacOS, Windows 10+ or Ubuntu 18.x+ to run the CLI (czctl)
• sudo/root/administrator permissions on your local system
