curl installation is missing in the guide

In Lab 2.2. Deploy a New Cluster, curl installation is missing in the lab guide(k8sMaster.sh and Second.sh). It will be good to add it.

Hi @tapakund,

What Linux distribution are you using?
The lab exercises have been tested with Ubuntu, and for the past few Ubuntu releases the curl command installation was not required as an additional step in order to complete the lab exercises.

Hi Chris,

I am using ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. This is ubuntu VM i have on my mac over vmware fusion.

After executing k8sMaster.sh, I could see few of the installation went missing as curl was missing. So, installed curl and rerun the script.

tkundu@master-node:~$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="18.04.4 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS"

UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic
tkundu@master-node:~$

Thanks,
Tapas.

Thanks for the detailed release information. This behavior is extremely rare, but I have seen it when the script itself did not run successfully due to minor environmental discrepancies in interpreting special characters like the single- and double-quotes, the tilda, etc...

Thanks @chrispokorni .

Hello,

As far as not having curl to begin, are you using an instance you installed locally or an image from a provider such as GCE or AWS?

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. There are many options when installing Ubuntu. The minimal installation does require software be added after the fact. Other spins may also leave out software.
