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/main/install/flux.sh | sudo bash
Note: You may want to export the GITHUB_TOKEN
environment variable using a personal access token
to avoid GitHub API rate-limiting errors if executing the install script repeatedly during a short time frame.
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
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2
cd flux2
Build the flux
binary (requires go >= 1.15):
make build
Run the binary:
./bin/flux -h
