Running from a .tar.gz Archive

The .tar.gz archive provides an alternative installation method for the systems where .deb or .rpm installations are not applicable.

By extracting and running the binary directly from the archive, you can use CukeTest normally, although this method is less convenient than the package-based installations.

CukeTest’s archive files are typically named like cuketest_*_amd64.tar.gz.

Assuming that you want to place CukeTest in your home directory’s /share folder, you could run CukeTest with the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the folder containing the archive.
  2. Extract the archive to the target directory with the following commands:
    tar -xvf cuketest_1.7.0_amd64.tar.gz 
mv CukeTest-linux-x64 ~/share/CukeTest-linux-x64
cd ~/share/CukeTest-linux-x64
  3. As a result of the previous commands, CukeTest will be extracted to the path ~/share/CukeTest-linux-x64.
  4. You can now launch CukeTest with the following command:
    ./cuketest

Installation Completed

After completing the steps above, you should be able to use CukeTest smoothly for your Automated Testing.
