Can't install a specific kustomize version

Question

I am trying to install kustomize v3.2.1 in Mac, but I am getting the following error when I do these steps.

wget "https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/archive/refs/tags/kustomize/v3.2.1.tar.gz" Untar the source

tar xzf xxxxx.tar.gz cd xxxxxx make install

Output:

go install /cmd/kustomize
make: go: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
How can I install this version without any issues? Thanks!

I need to recreate this question as I wasnt able to answer my previous question. So the command below is not working with specific version of kustomize

# install a particular version
brew install kustomize@v3.2.1

In brew, there is only the latest version available

Have you tried installing via instructions in the below link? https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/installation/kustomize/source/#install-the-kustomize-cli-from-local-source-with-cloning-the-repo — rock'n rolla, Mar 28 '21 at 16:21
@rock'nrolla thanks for sharing it. I tried the commands, but when I run (cd kustomize; go install .) command I get. go: sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/v3@v3.3.1: missing go.sum entry; to add it: go mod download sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/v3, after that just getting this one go mod download: skipping argument sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/v3 / I couldn't figure it out — cosmos-1905-14, Mar 28 '21 at 23:51
On the [release](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases/tag/kustomize%2Fv3.2.1) there is a build version for [kustomize@3.2.1](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases/download/kustomize%2Fv3.2.1/kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.1_darwin_amd64) — Luuk, Mar 29 '21 at 07:03
@Luuk, yeah but the thing, I couldn't install that. When I run brew install kustomize@3.2.1command, I get this No available formula or cask with the name "kustomize@3.2.1". So I really feel bad that I can't install it properly. — cosmos-1905-14, Apr 02 '21 at 12:28

I downloaded the version from release into my temp folder. No need to install anything

Optionally you can rename kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.1_darwin_amd64 to kustomize.

luuk@mini temp % ./kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.1_darwin_amd64 version

Thank you for taking the time to comment here. I use mac and tried to do so but it didnt work. I guess that one is for linux. ./kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.1_darwin_amd64: command not found. – cosmos-1905-14 Apr 04 '21 at 12:36
`darwin_amd64` in the filename suggest that it is for a Mac, running on 64-bits Intel processor – Luuk Apr 04 '21 at 12:49
I see, I followed the way you said. Just saying command not found. – cosmos-1905-14 Apr 04 '21 at 19:54
you should make it executable, using: `chmod +x kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.1_darwin_amd64` – Luuk Apr 05 '21 at 08:42
Thanks so much, it worked now! Any idea on how I can run `kustomize` command instead of using `./` – cosmos-1905-14 Apr 06 '21 at 00:24
Please read: [What is PATH on a Mac OS?](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/111550/what-is-path-on-a-mac-os) It is explained there that you can copy this executable to 'a' directory which is in the PATH. – Luuk Apr 06 '21 at 17:30
