# OpenLens Build Repo



##  Build Repo Only

This repo **ONLY PROVIDES SIGNED BINARIES AND DOES NOT ALTER SOURCE CODE** for the OpenLens repo. For software issues regarding OpenLens or the Lens IDE, go to the [Lens repo](https://github.com/lensapp/lens/issues) and open an issue there.



## Extensions



Starting with 6.3.0 some extensions are removed from Lens. To install these most used extensions simply type **@alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu** into the Extensions page in the OpenLens menu and it should install automatically. If you see the extension rapidly toggling between `enabled` and `disabled`, restart OpenLens and enable it in the Extension page.

For sources please refer [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu)



## Overview



This is the Binary Build Repo for the [Lens repository](https://github.com/lensapp/lens.git) aka **OpenLens**. This build only includes the open source part of the Lens IDE and does not require login. This repo was created due to lensapp/lens#5444.



Download and use as is. If you have trouble about not seeing pod logs, remove old config files / extensions remaining from old Lens app.



Auto Updater is now live starting with every binary downloaded with the `Latest` tag or the corresponding release assets.



### OpenLens vs Lens IDE

Paraphrasing from the [OpenLens README](https://github.com/lensapp/lens#readme)



#### OpenLens

The [OpenLens repository](https://github.com/lensapp/lens.git), is where Team Lens (Mirantis) develops the [Lens IDE](https://k8slens.dev/) product together with the community. It is backed by a number of Kubernetes and cloud native ecosystem pioneers. This source code is available to everyone under the [MIT license](https://github.com/lensapp/lens/blob/master/LICENSE).



#### Lens IDE

The Kubernetes management tool [Lens IDE](https://k8slens.dev/) is a distribution of the OpenLens repository with Team Lens specific customizations released under a traditional EULA.
