Learn more about [Netdata's platform support policy](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/PLATFORM_SUPPORT.md). + +## Install Netdata with our automatic one-line installation script + +**Local Netdata Agent installation** +To install Netdata using our automatic [kickstart](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/README.md#automatic-one-line-installation-script) open a new terminal and run: + +```bash +curl https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh > /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh +``` +The Netdata Agent is installed under `/usr/local/netdata`. Dependencies are handled via Homebrew. + +**Automatically connect to Netdata Cloud during installation** + +The `kickstart.sh` script accepts additional parameters to automatically [connect](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md) your node to Netdata +Cloud immediately after installation. Find the `token` and `rooms` strings by [signing in to Netdata +Cloud](https://app.netdata.cloud/sign-in?cloudRoute=/spaces), then clicking on **Connect Nodes** in the [Spaces management +area](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/organize-your-infrastrucutre-invite-your-team.md#netdata-cloud-spaces). + +- `--claim-token`: Specify a unique claiming token associated with your Space in Netdata Cloud to be used to connect to the node + after the install. +- `--claim-rooms`: Specify a comma-separated list of tokens for each War Room this node should appear in. +- `--claim-proxy`: Specify a proxy to use when connecting to the cloud in the form of `http://[user:pass@]host:ip` for an HTTP(S) proxy. + See [connecting through a proxy](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md#connect-through-a-proxy) for details. +- `--claim-url`: Specify a URL to use when connecting to the cloud.

Your machine will also show up as a node in your Netdata Cloud. + +If you experience issues while claiming your node, follow the steps in our [Troubleshooting](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md#troubleshooting) documentation. +## Install Netdata via Homebrew + +### For macOS Intel + +To install Netdata and all its dependencies, run Homebrew using the following command: + +```sh +brew install netdata +``` +Homebrew will place your Netdata configuration directory at `/usr/local/etc/netdata/`. + +Use the `edit-config` script and the files in this directory to configure Netdata.

Open your terminal of choice and install the Xcode development packages: + + ```bash + xcode-select --install + ``` + +2. Click **Install** on the Software Update popup window that appears. +3. Use the same terminal session to install some of Netdata's prerequisites using Homebrew. If you don't want to use [Netdata Cloud](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/quickstart/infrastructure.md), you can omit `cmake`. + + ```bash + brew install ossp-uuid autoconf automake pkg-config libuv lz4 json-c openssl libtool cmake + ``` + +4. Download Netdata from our GitHub repository: + + ```bash + git clone https://github.com/netdata/netdata.git --recursive + ``` + +5. `cd` into the newly-created directory and then start the installer script: + + ```bash + cd netdata/ + sudo ./netdata-installer.sh --install-prefix /usr/local + ``` + +> Your Netdata configuration directory will be at `/usr/local/netdata/`. +> Your stock configuration directory will be at `/usr/local/lib/netdata/conf.d/`. +> The installer will also install a startup plist to start Netdata when your macOS system boots. |
