Pinniped cli not working on windows from CMD and Powershell

Question

pinniped cli is not working in widnows. pinniped-cli-windows-amd64.exe is downloaded but when i type pinniped, it's not recognized.

C:\Users\hello>pinniped pinniped is not recognized as a internal command or external command, operable program or batch file.

Seem windows is not recognizing this .exe file as published by a valid publisher.

pinniped should show the pinniped cli options and be recognized as command. I created a folder called pinniped and copied .exe file and tried ...that did work.

Hi Chai I have gone through the link and tried installing pinniped cli it throwed me same error, then I troubleshooted and found that pinniped cli’s executable file is not getting added to the path and we can run pinniped commands by executing the exe file, however everytime you need to go to the directory where your pinniped-cli.exe file is present. Inorder to resolve this you can add pinniped cli’s exe to you path and it will solve your problem, follow this document for more information.

I have faced the same issue, so i had purged the cache here: C:\Users\user.kube\cache

And then, i have modified the path of the program pinniped in the config file below, at the line command (obviously, the program pinniped itself has to be present in this path) :

C:\Users\user.kube\config

• name: cluster-np-a2op-cluster-pinniped user: exec: apiVersion: client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1

..... ..... .....

• --upstream-identity-provider-flow=browser_authcode command: C:\Program Files\Pinniped\pinniped.exe

env: []

..... ..... .....

Hope this will help.
