Installing flyctl
Flyctl is a command-line utility that lets you work with Fly, from creating your account to deploying your applications. It runs on your local device so you'll want to install the version that's appropriate for your operating system:
macOS
With Homebrew
If you have the Homebrew package manager installed, flyctl is available to you by running:
brew install superfly/tap/flyctl
Or you can run the install script
curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh
Linux
Run the install script
curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh
Windows
Run the Powershell install script
iwr https://fly.io/install.ps1 | iex
If your Windows installation has never been exposed to Internet Explorer, this command may produce an error:
iwr : The response content cannot be parsed because the Internet Explorer engine is not available, or Internet Explorer's first-launch configuration is not complete. Specify the UseBasicParsing parameter and try again.
In this case, run the command:
iwr https://fly.io/install.ps1 -useBasicParsing | iex
And you'll be good to go.
