The Confluent Hub client is a command line tool that makes it easy to install and update components from Confluent Hub into a local Confluent Platform installation.
The Confluent Hub client is natively installed as a part of the complete Confluent Platform and located in the /bin directory. If you are using Confluent Community software, you can install the Confluent Hub client separately using the following instructions.
/bin
Tap the Confluent repository for the Confluent Hub client.
brew tap confluentinc/homebrew-confluent-hub-client
Install the Confluent Hub client.
brew install --cask confluent-hub-client
Optional: Verify your installation by typing confluent-hub in your terminal.
confluent-hub
Your output should look like this:
usage: confluent-hub <command> [ <args> ] Commands are: help Display help information install install a component from either Confluent Hub or from a local file See 'confluent-hub help <command>' for more information on a specific command.
Download and unzip the Confluent Hub tarball.
Download and unzip confluent-hub-client-latest.tar.gz. Add the contents of the bin directory to your PATH environment variable so that which confluent-hub finds the confluent-hub command.
