pack v0.9.0

pack v0.9.0

This is the ninth beta release of the Cloud Native Buildpack local CLI. This platform implementation should be relatively stable and reliable, but breaking changes in the underlying specification may be implemented without notice. Note that pack is intended for local image builds, and thus requires a Docker daemon. The lifecycle should be used directly when building on cloud platforms.

Prerequisites

• The Docker daemon must be installed on your workstation or accessible over the network.

Install

If you're on macOS, you can use Homebrew:

$ brew install buildpacks/tap/pack

Otherwise:

1. Download the .tgz or .zip file for your platform
2. Extract the pack binary
3. (Optional) Add the directory containing pack to PATH, or copy pack to a directory like /usr/local/bin

Run

Run the command pack.

You should see the following output

Usage:
  pack [command]

Available Commands:
  build                 Generate app image from source code
  rebase                Rebase app image with latest run image
