Prerequisites

PowerShell

For Windows, install a recent version, >=7.2. The PowerShell that ships with Windows is too old for these scripts.

For installation instructions for all platforms, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell

3rd Party Tools

The prerequisite 3rd party tools for your platform are defined in one of:

• etc/prereqs-darwin.ps1

• etc/prereqs-windows.ps1

You can install the tools manually, or by running:

$> bin/prereq-install

PS> winbin\prereq-install

Running the above script requires one of the below installers:

Installer	Platform	Home
brew	OS X	https://brew.sh/
scoop	Windows	https://scoop.sh/

Pivnet CLI

Install pivnet from the Pivnet CLI project, either using a platform installer or downloading a release.

Ensure the file is executable and on your path. On Windows be sure to rename the file to pivnet.exe.

After the CLI is installed, login to the Tanzu Network.

Setup

For Windows, add <repo>\winbin to your PATH.

For other OSes, add <repo>/bin to your PATH.

Running

General course of events:

• fetch TAP artifacts

• install tanzu CLI

• run tanzu CLI

Specifying TAP Version

The default version is specified by the var $TapVersion in the file etc/tap.ps1.

To override the version, redefine $TapVersion in the file etc/overrides.ps1.

To override the version for a single command invocation, set the env var TT_TAP_VERSION.
