Hey Dusty, Steve was trying to explain that you can:
1. Log in to the OpenShift Web Console for the instance you are using 2. Click the "(?)" button on the upper left of the navigation menu bar, next to your username, and click "About" in the dropdown menu that appears 3. There are links on the page to download the CLI tools 4. It also shows the command you'll need (including an access token) to log in to the instance, so it's *extremely* convenient :) Then you can follow the instructions here (there's a screenshot): https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.2/cli_reference/get_started_cli.html#installing-the-cli So if I'm reading your emails correctly, it seems we already have what you're looking for (at least in OSE 3.2, not sure when it was introduced). Hope this helps clarify what Steve has said. Would this have been clearer if there was a screenshot of the "?" button and dropdown? If so, we can open an issue to have the documentation updated accordingly. Cheers, Jonathan On Mon, Jul 18, 2016 at 8:46 PM, Dusty Mabe <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Steve.
