The Confluent CLI lets you manage your Confluent Cloud and Confluent Platform deployments, right from the terminal.
The Confluent CLI Overview shows how to get started with the Confluent CLI.
The Confluent CLI Command Reference contains information on command arguments and flags, and is programmatically generated from this repository.
All contributions are appreciated, no matter how small! When opening a PR, please make sure to follow our contribution guide.
The Confluent CLI is available to install for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Install the latest version of confluent to /usr/local/bin:
brew install confluentinc/tap/cli
Or, optionally install the FIPS-140 compatible version of confluent:
brew install confluentinc/tap/cli-fips
Then, follow the instructions below in the section titled "Build an OpenSSL FIPS Provider for FIPS-140 Mode".
Install the latest version of confluent to /usr/bin (requires glibc 2.17 or above for amd64 and glibc 2.27 or above for arm64):
wget -qO - https://packages.confluent.io/confluent-cli/deb/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://packages.confluent.io/confluent-cli/deb stable main"
sudo apt update && sudo apt install confluent-cli
Install the latest version of confluent to /usr/bin (requires glibc 2.17 or above for amd64 and glibc 2.27 or above for arm64):
sudo rpm --import https://packages.confluent.io/confluent-cli/rpm/archive.key
sudo yum install yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://packages.confluent.io/confluent-cli/rpm/confluent-cli.repo
sudo yum clean all && sudo yum install confluent-cli

From darwin/amd64 or darwin/arm64, you can build the CLI for any other supported platform.
To build for darwin/amd64 from darwin/arm64, run the following:
GOARCH=amd64 make build
To build for darwin/arm64 from darwin/amd64, run the following:
GOARCH=arm64 make build
To build for linux/amd64 (glibc or musl), run the following:
brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 make cross-build
To build for linux/arm64 (glibc or musl), run the following:
brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 make cross-build
To build for windows/amd64, run the following:
brew install mingw-w64
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 make cross-build
Linux is built in FIPS-140 mode by default. To build the CLI for macOS in FIPS-140 mode, set the GOLANG_FIPS environment variable to "1":
GOLANG_FIPS=1 make buildThen, follow the instructions in the next section to build an OpenSSL FIPS provider.
wget "https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.0.9.tar.gz"
tar -xvf openssl-3.0.9.tar.gz
cd openssl-3.0.9/
./Configure enable-fips
make install_fips DESTDIR=installCopy the generated files into the Homebrew OpenSSL directory:
cp install/usr/local/lib/ossl-modules/fips.dylib /opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@3/<version>/lib/ossl-modules
cp install/usr/local/ssl/fipsmodule.cnf /opt/homebrew/etc/openssl@3/Create a new OpenSSL configuration file for FIPS-140 mode:
cp /opt/homebrew/etc/openssl@3/openssl.cnf /opt/homebrew/etc/openssl@3/openssl-fips.cnfAppend the following to openssl-fips.cnf:
config_diagnostics = 1
openssl_conf = openssl_init
.include /opt/homebrew/etc/openssl@3/fipsmodule.cnf
[openssl_init]
