MacOS

This is actually a really quick process so this article is going to be short. This process will show you how to do the following:

• How to Install Brew for MacOS
• How to Install the OpenShift CLI using Brew
• How to Utilize the Login Command with Token to Access a Cluster

Step 1. Install Brew for MacOS

Run the following command to install brew in a terminal window:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
or

Note: After you run the command there are some additional commands that will be asked to run in order to run brew. If this is not run successfully a command not found will display when running the brew command.

Step 2. Install the OpenShift CLI using Brew

Run the following command in the terminal to install the OpenShift (aka OC) CLI utility:

$ brew install openshift-cli
