-bash: /usr/local/bin/kops: cannot execute binary file

Question

Any help or hint would greatly appreciated. I am using Windows 11 Professional.

I am connect to AWS and when I type the command "kops" I get the below error message.

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-10-126 ~]$ curl -Lo kops https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kops/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/kops-darwin-amd64

Answer 1

You're only using Windows 11 as a ssh client - it's not doing anything for Kubernetes.

As @jordanm indicates you're trying to download the MacOS version. Change your command to:

curl -Lo kops https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kops/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/kops-linux-amd64

to get the Linux version
