My environment:
I typed this command cf install-plugin https://static-ice.ng.bluemix.net/ibm-containers-windows_x64.exe under both CMD and Boot2Docker VM in order to install cf ic plugin, which is mentioned in the official guide. The result is "exit status 2".
Output:
Attempting to download binary file from internet address...
10325504 bytes downloaded...
Installing plugin C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\
ibm-containers-windows_x64.exe...
FAILED exit status 2
What is "exit status 2" any way? I have found a section that mentions "exit status 1" in the troubleshooting document. However, there is no information about "exit status 1".
I installed all the programs using the default settings and the cf ic plugin did not install properly.
How to fix this problem?
install the new bx plugin that include containers feature too: http://clis.ng.bluemix.net/ui/home.html
