# Install for Mac OS

{% hint style="danger" %}
If the cldkctl binary is downloaded manually and executed from the current directory, prefix the command with ./, for example ./cldkctl --version. This ensures that the system executes the local binary, as macOS does not include the current directory (./) in the system PATH by default.
{% endhint %}

The cldkctl tool for macOS can be installed using either the Homebrew package manager or the Manual Binary Installation method. Choose one of the methods below based on the preferred installation approach.
