Installing the CLI tools

Octelium comes with 3 CLIs and all of which are currently supported for Linux, MacOS and Windows for both x86_64/amd64 and arm64 architectures.

octelium Used by all Users to connect to the Cluster and access its Services.
octeliumctl Used by the Cluster managers to manage the Cluster's resources.
octops Used to install, upgrade and uninstall Clusters, as well as other functionalities such as setting the TLS certificates used by the Cluster.

Using Shell Script

You can directly download and install pre-compiled binaries as follows:

For Linux and MacOS

curl -fsSL https://octelium.com/install.sh | bash

For Windows in Powershell

iwr https://octelium.com/install.ps1 -useb | iex

You can build the CLI tools from source code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/octelium/octelium
cd octelium
make install-cli

Now you will find the 3 binaries octelium, octeliumctl and octops in the directory bin inside your git repo root directory.
