Issues installing Spring Cloud on SpringBoot CLI on a fresh machine

[kdjomeda]

I have come across an issue on StackOverflow and decided to experiment. I have been using the spring cloud encrypt functionality myself and didn't have any issue when I was installing it. I decided to use a fresh ubuntu 18.04 from AWS.

Below are the commands I have run to get the machine ready:

• apt-get update
• apt-get upgrade
• apt-get install unzip zip openjdk-11-jdk
• added export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64" to ~/.bashrc
• installed sdkman: curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
• sdk install maven
• sdk install springboot 2.3.6.RELEASE
• sdk use springboot 2.3.6.RELEASE
• mvn install [this failed]
• spring install org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-cli:2.3.6.RELEASE [this failed]

mvn install failure output

That version of Spring Cloud CLI does not exist.

Wow, can't understand how I missed that. Thanks so much for pointing it out. Closing the issue then.
