homebrew-tanzu

Homebrew tap for the Tanzu CLI

Installation

brew tap vmware-tanzu/tanzu  # Only needs to be done once for the machine

brew install tanzu-cli

To upgrade to a new release: brew update && brew upgrade tanzu-cli

To uninstall: brew uninstall tanzu-cli

Installing with Homebrew will automatically setup shell completion for bash, zsh and fish.

Installing a Specific Version

At the time of writing, Homebrew only officially supported installing the latest version of a formula, however the following workaround allows to install a specific version by first extracting it to a local tap:

brew tap-new local/tap
brew extract --version=1.0.0 vmware-tanzu/tanzu/tanzu-cli local/tap
brew install [email protected]

# To uninstall such an installation
brew uninstall [email protected]

Installing a Pre-Release

Pre-releases of the Tanzu CLI are made available to get early feedback before a new version is released. Pre-releases are available through Homebrew using a different package name: tanzu-cli-unstable.

Note: Just like installing a new version, installing a pre-release will replace the tanzu binary of any previous installation.

brew tap vmware-tanzu/tanzu  # If not already done on this machine

brew install tanzu-cli-unstable --overwrite

# To uninstall such an installation
brew uninstall tanzu-cli-unstable
