Clone & Build

# Clone lens
git clone [email protected]:lensapp/lens.git
cd lens

# Checkout most recent version
git checkout tags/v6.4.15

# Build app
nvm use 16 # check ./open-lens/package.json to confirm node version
npm install -g yarn # if necessary
yarn && yarn run build && yarn run build:app

Install OpenLens

open packages/open-lens/dist/

Open the .dmg file for the version you just built, and install the app as normal.

Install Pod Logs and Shell Extension

The pod logs and shell buttons were removed from the openlens core app in v6.3.0 and now need to be installed via an extension.

See:

lensapp/lens#6823
https://github.com/alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu

Fix:

Go to extensions in the OpenLens menu (or shift+command+e). In the text box, enter @alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu and click install. Once it shows in the installed extensions list, ensure it is enabled and then restart OpenLens.
