Last Updated:Apr 01, 2024

This topic describes how to install Cloud Development Toolkit (CDK) of Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Prerequisites

Node.js and TypeScript of the following versions are available:

  • Node.js: V14.17.0 or later

  • TypeScript: V3.8 or later

Install ROS CDK on Linux

The following section provides an example on how to install ROS CDK on 64-bit CentOS 8.2.

  1. Run the following commands to install Node.js, npm, TypeScript, and Lerna:

    # ROS CDK is developed by using TypeScript. Therefore, you must install the relevant software packages. 
    sudo yum install -y nodejs npm
    sudo npm install typescript -g
    sudo npm install lerna -g
    Note

    If Node.js that is installed by running the preceding commands is not of V14.17.0 or later, you can go to the Node.js official website to download the required version.

  2. Run the following command to install ROS CDK CLI:

    sudo npm install @alicloud/ros-cdk-cli -g
  3. Run the following command to query the features that are supported by ROS CDK:

    sudo ros-cdk

    After you run the command, the following output is returned:

    Usage: ros-cdk COMMAND
    
    Commands:
      ros-cdk init [TEMPLATE]         Create a new, empty CDK project from a
                                      template. Invoked without TEMPLATE, the app
                                      template will be used.
      ros-cdk list [STACKS..]         Lists all stacks in the app      [aliases: ls]
      ros-cdk synthesize [STACKS..]   Synthesizes and prints the ROS template for
                                      this stack                    [aliases: synth]
      ros-cdk deploy [STACKS..]       Deploys the stack(s) named STACKS to ROS into
                                      your alicloud account
      ros-cdk diff [STACKS..]         Compares the specified stack with the deployed
                                      stack or a local template file, and returns
                                      with status 1 if any difference is found
      ros-cdk destroy [STACKS..]      Destroy the stack(s) named STACKS
      ros-cdk event [STACK..]         Get resource events within the resource STACK
      ros-cdk resource [STACKS..]     Get resources in the resource STACKS
      ros-cdk list-stacks [STACKS..]  Get resources in the resource STACKS
      ros-cdk load-config             Load Aliyun CLI config to CDK.
      ros-cdk config                  Set your alicloud account configuration.
    
    Options:
      --json, -j       Use JSON output instead of YAML when templates are printed to
                       STDOUT                             [boolean] [default: false]
      --ignore-errors  Ignores synthesis errors, which will likely produce an
                       invalid output                     [boolean] [default: false]
      --trace          Print trace for stack warnings                      [boolean]
      --strict         Do not construct stacks with warnings               [boolean]
      --version        Show version number                                 [boolean]
      -h, --help       Show help                                           [boolean]
    
    If your app has a single stack, there is no need to specify the stack name
    
    If one of cdk.json or ~/.cdk.json exists, options specified there will be used
    as defaults. Settings in cdk.json take precedence.
