Building from source

go get -d k8s.io/kops
cd ${GOPATH}/src/k8s.io/kops/
git checkout release
make
  • The release branch is where releases are taken from. This is the stable code branch.
  • The master branch should also be functional, but is where active development happens, so may be less stable.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure $GOPATH is set, and your workspace is configured.
  • kops will not compile with symlinks in $GOPATH. See issue go issue 17451 for more information
  • kops uses the relatively new Go vendoring, so building requires Go 1.6 or later, or you must export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 when building with Go 1.5. The makefile sets GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT for you. Go code generation does not honor the env var in 1.5, so for development you should use Go 1.6 or later
  • Kops will only compile if the source is checked out in $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kops. If you try to use $GOPATH/src/github.com/kubernetes/kops you will run into issues with package imports not working as expected.
