Errors build kubetap

Go toolchain not new enough

Kubetap requires Go version 1.14 or later.

You can check the current Go version by running:

$ go version
go version go1.14.2 darwin/amd64

Errors running kubetap

Why can't I run the tap command after installing from source?

If you get an error like this:

$ kubectl tap --help
Error: unknown command "tap" for "kubectl"

Did you mean this?
  top
  cp

And if you can't execute the standalone binary in a shell, as in:

kubectl-tap

...then it is likely that your ${GOPATH}/bin directory is not in your ${PATH}. Try adding the following line to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

export PATH="${GOPATH}/bin:${PATH}"

The Mac OS Binary doesn't run

Mac binaries require notarization. It is recommended to use Homebrew to install Kubetap on Mac, or to build from source.
