Installation

Install CloudOpt on Linux or macOS.

Install

On Linux, macOS, or Windows (Git Bash):

curl -fSsL https://cloudopt.kernul.io/install | bash

The script pulls the latest release from GitHub, verifies the download checksum, and installs cloudopt to ~/.local/bin/. Progress and the release version print to stderr.

If ~/.local/bin is missing from your PATH, add this to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or your shell equivalent:

export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}"

Verify

cloudopt version

Stdout prints version JSON. Logs go to stderr.

Requirements

  • curl or wget, tar, and sha256sum on the install host
  • Cloud credentials on the machine where you run live collection:
    • AWS: standard SDK credential chain
    • GCP: Application Default Credentials (gcloud auth application-default login, or workload identity in CI)
  • Network access to the provider APIs you plan to collect from

CloudOpt ships as a single binary.
