As it is the Linux version of OS, I tried firing, hoping that would work
apt-get install jq
But it says apt-get: command not found.
How I can install new binaries as I wanted to add some extra logic in the startup script which required few extra libs to be installed first.
Please correct me if I am doing anything wrong.
Container OS is locked down. You are prohibited from installing programs. Create a container and run the command in the container.
Container-Optimized OS does not include a package manager; as such, you'll be unable to install software packages directly on an instance. However, you can use CoreOS toolbox to install and run debugging and admin tools in an isolated container.
