@MuhammedKalkan how can I download it in a script to make sure its always latest? You have a version number in the file name...

@turowicz You may be able to get the latest release here uing the github API.

You will need both jq and curl installed

script.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euxo pipefail

# find the url for the lastest deb using regex
LATEST_DEB_DOWNLOAD_URL=$(curl https://api.github.com/repos/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets[]| select(.name | test("^OpenLens-\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+.amd64.deb$")) | .browser_download_url')

# make sure we got the download url
if [[ -z $LATEST_DEB_DOWNLOAD_URL ]]
then
 echo "unable to get the latest download link for openlens deb download."
 exit 1
fi

# download the deb using curl
curl -L $LATEST_DEB_DOWNLOAD_URL > openlens.amd64.deb

1. save the script above to a file i.e download.sh
2. run bash download.sh. expect output as below

   $ bash download.sh
   ++ curl https://api.github.com/repos/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens/releases/latest
   ++ jq -r '.assets[]| select(.name | test("^OpenLens-\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+.amd64.deb$")) | .browser_download_url'

   after the script is done, the deb file will be saved as openlens.amd64.deb in the current directory
