Installation error while installing 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 facing error at step 3. The details are as follows.

Please see the command: linkerd install | kubectl apply -f -

Please see the error below:

Error: open /add-ons\grafana/Chart.yaml: file does not exist
Usage:
  linkerd install [flags]
  linkerd install [command]

Examples:
  # Default install.
  linkerd install | kubectl apply -f -

  # Install Linkerd into a non-default namespace.
  linkerd install -l linkerdtest | kubectl apply -f -

  # Installation may also be broken up into two stages by user privilege, via
  # subcommands.

Available Commands:
  config        Output Kubernetes cluster-wide resources to install Linkerd
  control-plane Output Kubernetes control plane resources to install Linkerd

Can anyone please help me regarding this issue.

You better work with Microsoft documentation - Install Linkerd in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

The following steps worked for me :

# Get AKS credentials
az aks get-credentials --resource-group $(resource_group_name) --name $(cluster_name)

# Download stable release
curl -sLO "https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/releases/download/stable-2.6.1/linkerd2-cli-stable-2.6.1-linux"

# Copy the linkerd client binary to the standard user program location in your PATH
sudo cp ./linkerd2-cli-stable-2.6.1-linux /usr/local/bin/linkerd  
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/linkerd

#Check linkerd pre if pass with no issue - install Linkerd on AKS
 if linkerd check --pre; then
        linkerd install | kubectl apply -f -
    fi
