Checkout the installation options to customize your installation. There are 3 ways to install odigos in your kubernetes cluster:

Odigos CLI
Helm Chart
OpenShift Operator

All install methods will deploy and configure resources in the active Kubernetes cluster as per the current context. Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you are targeting the correct cluster with kubectl config current-context.

Odigos CLI

Install the CLI

Homebrew
GitHub Releases
Windows

If you are on MacOS, you can install Odigos CLI using Homebrew:

brew install odigos-io/odigos-cli/odigos

Download the Latest Version: Head over to the Odigos GitHub Releases page and click on the latest version available. You’ll see a list of files—choose the one that matches your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Extract the Downloaded File: Once the file is downloaded, it will likely be in a compressed format like .zip or .tar.gz. To use the program, you’ll first need to extract (or unzip) it. Right-click on the file and select “Extract Here” or use a similar option, depending on your operating system.
Move the File to a Folder in Your PATH. You’ll need to move this file to a folder where your computer looks for programs, known as your “PATH”.

For Windows: Move the extracted file to a folder like C:\Windows\System32 or any folder listed in your system’s PATH. You can find out where by typing echo %PATH% in Command Prompt.
For macOS/Linux: Move the file to a folder like /usr/local/bin/ or /usr/bin/, both of which are common folders included in the PATH. You can check your PATH by opening the terminal and typing echo $PATH.

Verify It’s Working: Once the file is in the correct folder, open a terminal or command prompt and type the name of the program (e.g., odigos). If it runs, you’ve successfully installed it! If not, double-check that you moved the file to a folder included in your PATH.

Download the Latest Version: Go to the Odigos GitHub Releases page. Look for the latest version and download the file that matches your system (typically, this will be a .zip file for Windows).
Extract the Downloaded File: Once the download is complete, locate the .zip file in your Downloads folder. Right-click on it and choose “Extract All.” Select a location on your computer where you’d like to save the extracted files.
Move the Binary to a Folder in Your PATH: Windows has specific folders where it looks for programs to run, called the “PATH”. To make Odigos work from anywhere on your system, you’ll need to move the program (binary) into one of these folders. Here’s how:
- Option 1: Move the file to a folder already in the PATH, such as C:\Windows\System32. Simply drag the extracted file (often named something like odigos.exe) into that folder.
- Option 2: Add the folder containing the extracted binary to your PATH manually:
  1. Right-click the Start button and select System.
  2. Click Advanced system settings on the left.
  3. In the System Properties window, click Environment Variables at the bottom.
  4. In the System Variables section, scroll down and find the variable named Path. Select it and click Edit.
  5. In the Edit Environment Variables window, click New, and then add the folder where you saved the extracted file.
  6. Click OK to close all windows.
Verify Installation: Open the Command Prompt by searching for cmd in the Start menu. Type the name of the program, like odigos.exe, and press Enter. If the program runs, then you’ve successfully installed it. If it doesn’t, double-check that you either moved the file to a folder in your PATH or correctly added the folder where the file is located.
