Follow these steps to install eksctl
To create an EKS Cluster using the `eksctl` command in Windows 11, you need to install the `eksctl` software. Follow these steps to install `eksctl`:
1. **Install `eksctl`:**
- Open your preferred terminal (Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Windows Terminal).
- Download the `eksctl` binary by running the following command:
```powershell
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/latest/download/eksctl_windows_amd64.zip" -OutFile "eksctl.zip"
```
- Extract the downloaded zip file:
```powershell
Expand-Archive -Path "eksctl.zip" -DestinationPath "$HOME\.eksctl"
```
- Add the `eksctl` binary to your PATH:
```powershell
$env:Path += ";$HOME\.eksctl"
```
Alternatively, you can manually download the `eksctl` binary from the [official GitHub releases page](https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases) and extract it to a directory that is included in your system PATH.
2. **Verify the Installation:**
- After adding `eksctl` to your PATH, verify the installation by running:
```sh
eksctl version
```
This should display the version of `eksctl` you installed.
3. **Install AWS CLI (if not already installed):**
- To interact with AWS services, you'll also need the AWS CLI. Install it by following the official [AWS CLI installation guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-windows.html).
- Verify the installation by running:
```sh
aws --version
```
4. **Configure AWS CLI:**
- Configure the AWS CLI with your credentials:
```sh
aws configure
```
Enter your AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, default region name (e.g., `us-east-2`), and default output format.
After completing these steps, you should be able to run the `eksctl create cluster` command to create your EKS cluster.
