6. Installing Skipper
Prev	Part III. Getting Started	Next

This section covers installing Skipper on your local machine, as it is the easiest way to get started. The section Part VI, “Installation” discusses installing on Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes. It also shows additional options for installing on your local machine.

Download the Skipper server and shell apps by using the following commands in a terminal session:

wget http://repo.spring.io/release/org/springframework/cloud/spring-cloud-skipper-server/1.0.2.RELEASE/spring-cloud-skipper-server-1.0.2.RELEASE.jar

wget http://repo.spring.io/release/org/springframework/cloud/spring-cloud-skipper-shell/1.0.2.RELEASE/spring-cloud-skipper-shell-1.0.2.RELEASE.jar

Launch the server and shell apps by using the following commands in a terminal session:

java -jar spring-cloud-skipper-server-1.0.2.RELEASE.jar


java -jar spring-cloud-skipper-shell-1.0.2.RELEASE.jar

The default port that the server listens on is 7577. That is SKPR on a telephone keypad. :)

There is also a docker image hosted on dockerhub

Now install some apps!
