We do pay for GIT client support through IBM, which I realize is actually rocket support behind the scenes. cURL used to come packaged with GIT client but was removed with IBM ptf.
I was able to just go to the public anaconda website, and download the cURL tarball, upload it, and expand it and clone it where needed. Our Jenkins pipeline needs it.

Colin Paice opened an issue for my pyzfile Python package to document installation methods on air-gapped systems https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/discussion/reading-an-mvs-dataset-using-z-open-automation-utility__;!!MwwqYLOC6b6whF7V!nVlHVMjwgMI8doNcGXgOJIwnci0yoWLQREmOo_7c-J1hWzEQQaXiHBinMK7zqEFHNnMuAhcKDi1m24hwsjs$. Dave Jousma seems to have found a solution to his problem. Rocket provide an off-line channel for ported tools but it’s only available to customers with commercial support, in which case you have the choice of SMP/E. Most customers that are using ported tools for critical work, such as Git, have commercial support. Z/OS Open Tools is a great alternative if you only require free tools. They have ported tools not available from Rocket, such as nano, which most ISPF users will find easier to use then vim. > > -- > gil > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
