High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build the Kurtosis CLI from source for local development?▼

Build the Kurtosis CLI locally by compiling the Go source code using the Go 1.23+ toolchain, then verify the resulting binary by checking its version to ensure a working local build.

What is the process for testing a local CLI build against Docker and Kubernetes engines?▼

Testing a local build involves starting the engine and running packages to validate behavior. You can switch between Docker and Kubernetes backends to verify cross-environment functionality directly.

Do I need Go installed to compile and test the Kurtosis CLI locally?▼

Yes, you need Go 1.23 or higher installed. Satisfying this Go tooling requirement is necessary to compile the CLI binaries and execute local development workflows.

Why compile the Kurtosis CLI locally instead of using a released version?▼

Compiling locally streamlines development by allowing you to iterate on CLI changes quickly, validate behavior against engines, and debug hands-on without waiting for official releases.

Can I validate CLI changes across different container engines during local development?▼

Yes, local development supports switching between Docker and Kubernetes backends. This allows you to validate cross-environment behavior by starting and stopping engines during your testing workflow.

What engine interactions are available when testing a local Kurtosis CLI build?▼

Available engine interactions include engine start and stop, cluster switching, and package execution. These commands allow hands-on development and debugging against the compiled binary.
