flux CLI Installation
Binaries for macOS and Linux AMD64 are available for download on the release page.
To install the latest release run:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fluxcd/flux2/master/install/flux.sh | sudo bash
The install script does the following:
- attempts to detect your OS
- downloads and unpacks the release tar file in a temporary directory
- copies the flux binary to
/usr/local/bin - removes the temporary directory
If you want to use flux as a kubectl plugin, rename the binary to kubectl-flux:
mv /usr/local/bin/flux /usr/local/bin/kubectl-flux
Build from source
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2
cd toolkit
Build the flux binary (requires go >= 1.14):
make build
Run the binary:
./bin/flux -h
