<p>I'm trying to install Jenkins X on an existing Kubernetes cluster (GKE), using <code>jx boot</code>, but it always gives me the error <code>trying to execute 'jx boot' from a non requirements repo</code></p>

<p>In fact, I have tried to use <code>jx install</code>, and it works, but this command is already marked as <strong><em>deprecated</em></strong>, but I see it's still the method to use on Jenkins X's GitHub page.</p>

<p>Then another detail ... I'm in fact creating the cluster using Terraform because I don't like the idea that Jenkins X creates the cluster for me. And I want to use Terraform to install Jenkins X as well but that would be another question. :)</p>

<p>So how to install using <code>jx boot</code> and what is a <code>non requirements repo</code> ?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Are you trying to execute <code>jx boot</code> from within an existing git repository? Try changing into an empty, non-git directory run <code>jx boot</code> from there. </p>

<p><code>jx</code> wants to clone the <a href="https://github.com/jenkins-x/jenkins-x-boot-config" rel="noreferrer">jenkins-x-boot-config</a> and create your dev repository. It cannot do so from within an existing repository.</p>
