Installation error in Service mesh Linkerd service mesh in aks

5/14/2020

I have followed the getting started instructions here: https://linkerd.io/2/getting-started/ for installing linkerd but i am not able to install cli of linkerd.

Please see the command below: curl -sL https://run.linkerd.io/install | sh

Please see the error below:

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option

Can anyone please help me to solve it.

The provides installation instructions from the Linkerd website are indeed vague, they provide instruction for Linux (shell) users as well as a brew install command for OSX users.

If you are interested in installing LinkerD on your Windows machine, the recommandation is to download the binary (.exe - for Windows) directly form their release page: https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/releases

After you have downloaded the binary, you should be able to update your %PATH% environment variable to add the location of the binary, this will allow you to refer to the linkerd directly from your command prompt.
