Hi,
I was trying to install ASM in Anthos on VMware using ASM Offline package. But during installation using asmcli tool, I encountered the following error.
[ERROR]: Critical components not found in the offline mode. Note that if the installation configuration has changed,
kpt packages would have to be re-downloaded. Please run “asmcli build-offline-package” and pass the directory containing the required files to install ASM successfully offline.
I have kpt version 0.39.3 installed on my machine and it is same version as the kpt present in ASM Offline package.
Hope someone can help here to resolve my issue. Thanks in advance
