Unable to install dcos-cli on Mac OSX

Question

DCOS provides the following installation command to install the cli tool:

mkdir -p dcos && cd dcos && 
curl -O https://downloads.dcos.io/dcos-cli/install.sh && 
bash ./install.sh . https://mydomain.co && 
source ./bin/env-setup

However, when I run this on my Mac, it fails with the following:

mkdir -p dcos && cd dcos &&
 | →   curl -O https://downloads.dcos.io/dcos-cli/install.sh &&
 | →   bash ./install.sh . https://mydomain.co &&
 | →   source ./bin/env-setup

When I run the same command on Ubuntu, it works just fine. Any idea what the root cause is?

Answer 1

Most of the issues I've seen around installing the DC/OS CLI on OS X had a root cause related to the prerequisites not met. That said, in DC/OS 1.8 we introduced binaries for the CLI (exactly to avoid situations you're describing).
