PCF Dev installation error

Praveen Inavolu posted Nov 14, 2019 07:30 PM

I am trying to install PCF Dev and getting the following error, does anyone experienced and can help?

PS E:\pcf> cf install-plugin cfdev-v0.0.17-rc.14-windows.exe

Do you want to install the plugin cfdev-v0.0.17-rc.14-windows.exe? [yN]: y

dial tcp 127.0.0.1:63325: socket: An invalid argument was supplied.

exit status 1

File is not a valid cf CLI plugin binary.

It looks like there might be something wrong with the plugin file you downloaded. Can you try `cf install-plugin -r CF-Community cfdev` instead? That should let the cf cli download the plugin from the plugin repo instead of using the local file.

Thank you for your response. I did tried as you mentioned as well still the same error. Also I tried turning off windows firewall. That didn't help. I am installing on windows 10.

Check the shasum of the file you're downloading, make sure it matches:

$ shasum -a 256 cfdev-v0.0.17-rc.14-windows.exe

You can run `Get-FileHash <path-to-file> | Format-List` in PowerShell to calculate the checksum on Windows.

Is there any anti-virus software that might be interjecting here?

You would probably need to look at McAfee and see if it's logging any thing. If it's interrupting the cf cli/cfdev plugin, you don't usually get a message saying so. You usually get more cryptic errors.

thanks for your time. that is is good point. I have McAfee on the machine. Is it possible to know from log file? in other words does cf install-plugin command logs somewhere ?

I checked with our McAfee team to scan for any log or errors from the system i was trying and could find no errors and Mcafee is not not blocking.
