One binary with the web dashboard embedded. No Go toolchain, no Node, no build step — download it, verify it, and run the loop.
Docker needs at least 4 CPUs and 8 GB of memory. labctl init runs a 3-node cluster plus the full platform stack; the 2 GB a fresh Docker VM ships with is not enough, and it fails as confusing TLS handshake timeout errors partway through. On macOS raise it in Docker Desktop → Resources, or start Colima with --cpu 4 --memory 8.
Or use the scripted install below, which detects your OS and architecture and verifies the checksum for you.
# Set the version you want, then run the block as-is.
VERSION=1.2.0
OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]') # darwin | linux
ARCH=$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/;s/aarch64/arm64/') # amd64 | arm64
BASE="https://github.com/sagar2395/snowopslabs/releases/download/v${VERSION}"
curl -fsSL "${BASE}/labctl_${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH}.tar.gz" -o labctl.tar.gz
curl -fsSL "${BASE}/checksums.txt" -o checksums.txt
# Verify before you trust it.

tar xzf labctl.tar.gz labctl

labctl --versionlabctl runs scripts from scenarios/, platform/ and runtimes/ at runtime, so the release archive is not standalone. The binary just saves you installing Go and Node.

A usability-focused release: the full "Autoscaling Under Load" UX audit remediation plus platform, observability, application, and lab-reset improvements — and the new SnowOps Labs brand. Each artifact below is the labctl CLI with the web UI embedded — one self-contained binary per platform.
app deploy now imports the local image into k3d/kind (building it first if missing) before deploying — no more ImagePullBackOff on a fresh cluster.$NAMESPACE / $DOMAIN_SUFFIX / $SCRIPT_DIR / $VALUES_FILE inline and show a variables legend explaining every value (secrets included).chaos.<domain> — no manual port-forward.labctl lab reset and the top-level labctl reset), in proper order — no more stale "active" state against a fresh cluster.Download the archive for your platform below (verify against checksums.txt), or follow the README Quickstart.
