Installing the API Command Line Tools

The API command line tools are included with the Python bindings for the API in the python-ksplice-uptrack package. This package is available in the Ksplice for Oracle repositories on ULN at linux.oracle.com or the Ksplice Uptrack for Oracle Linux repositories at www.ksplice.com.

1. Check that you have a valid support subscription.

   Ensure that you have a valid Oracle Linux Premier subscription, a Premier Limited subscription, or an Oracle Premier Support for Systems and Operating Systems subscription.

   These subscriptions automatically register the system to use Ksplice. See Registering With ULN for more details.

2. Install the python-ksplice-uptrack package.

   sudo dnf install -y python-ksplice-uptrack 

   The Python bindings are installed in the Python site-packages directory, which is typically /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ksplice. The API tools are installed in the /usr/bin directory.

   The Nagios plugins are installed in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins.
