POD_NAMESPACE=$(kubectl get pods -A -l name=zoperator -o custom-columns=NAMESPACE:.metadata.namespace --no-headers=true)
kubectl cp $POD_NAMESPACE/$POD_NAME:zadara /usr/local/bin/zadara && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/zadara- You may also download the CLI (for Linux) from here and copy it to '/usr/local/bin/zadara'.
