Unable to install most Bluemix CF plugins - ibm-cloud

Question

Attempting to install plugins from the Bluemix Plugin Repository using the latest cf client:
cf version 6.14.0+2654a47-2015-11-18
on both Mac OSX and Centos 7, I get the following error when attempting an install from the repo (the following are from the Centos machine):
[michael#oracle ~]$ cf install-plugin -r bluemix vpn

Do you want to install the plugin vpn? (y or n)> y
Looking up 'vpn' from repository 'bluemix'

Downloaded plugin binary's checksum does not match repo metadata
Downloading the binary plugin and attempting a local install, gives me:
cf install-plugin bluemix-admin-linux_x64

Do you want to install the plugin bluemix-admin-linux_x64? (y or n)> y

exit status 127
Further examination yields:
ldd bluemix-admin-linux_x64
./bluemix-admin-linux_x64: error while loading shared libraries: ./bluemix-admin-linux_x64: unsupported version 6773 of Verneed record
While this example is for the vpn plugin, all plugins besides IBM-Containers yield the same results on a remote install attempt (the checksum error) and some variation in examining the binary itself, for instance with active_deploy:
ldd active-deploy-linux-amd64-0.1.67
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffc649d4000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00000036a0a00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000000369fe00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000369fa00000)
I've not seen this with other community Cloud Foundry plugins so this phenomenon seems unique to how these plugins are being generated by IBM. Any suggestions or thoughts on how I could resolve this myself (a source repo that I could compile these myself, while unfortunate, would suffice at this point).
Tks,

Answer 1

Actually the official CLI for Bluemix is the cloud Foundry CLI as described on Bluemix doc pages
https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/cli/downloads.html
I think your errors are depending from your error in referring the plugin.
Checking the doc page for cf vpn plugin for Bluemix
https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/cli/plugins/vpn/index.html
you have to specify the plugin version you downloaded (and right for your own environment) and not only 'vpn'
For MS Windows OS:
cf install-plugin vpn_windows64.exe
For Apple MAC OS:
cf install-plugin vpn_mac_os_amd64
For Linux OS:
cf install-plugin vpn_linuxamd64
You could also configure bluemix plugin repository as cf repository and then install the plugins choosing it as source repository.

Answer 2

Use this container, it has cf and container plugin installed already:
