## Installation

To build and install, use the `install` target:

```console
make install
```

You may set the `BINDIR` environment variable to install the binary in a
specific location instead of `/usr/local/bin`, e.g.

```
BINDIR=~/.local/bin make install
```

Alternatively, to install the latest binary release:

```
CILIUM_CLI_VERSION=$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cilium/cilium-cli/main/stable.txt)
GOOS=$(go env GOOS)
GOARCH=$(go env GOARCH)
curl -L --remote-name-all https://github.com/cilium/cilium-cli/releases/download/${CILIUM_CLI_VERSION}/cilium-${GOOS}-${GOARCH}.tar.gz{,.sha256sum}
sha256sum --check cilium-${GOOS}-${GOARCH}.tar.gz.sha256sum
sudo tar -C /usr/local/bin -xzvf cilium-${GOOS}-${GOARCH}.tar.gz
rm cilium-${GOOS}-${GOARCH}.tar.gz{,.sha256sum}
```

See https://github.com/cilium/cilium-cli/releases for supported `GOOS`/`GOARCH`
binary releases.

### Examples

#### `install` examples

To install the default version of Cilium:

    cilium install

To see the Helm release that got deployed:

    helm list -n kube-system --filter "cilium"

To see non-default Helm values that `cilium-cli` used for this Cilium installation:

    helm get values -n kube-system cilium

To see all the Cilium-related resources without installing them to your cluster:

    cilium install --dry-run

To see all the non-default Helm values without actually performing the installation:

    cilium install --dry-run-helm-values

To install using Cilium's [OCI dev chart repository](https://quay.io/repository/cilium-charts-dev/cilium):

    cilium install --repository oci://quay.io/cilium-charts-dev/cilium --version 1.14.0-dev-dev.4-main-797347707c

#### `upgrade` examples

To upgrade to a specific version of Cilium:

    cilium upgrade --version v1.13.3

To upgrade using a local Helm chart:

    cilium upgrade --chart-directory ./install/kubernetes/cilium

To upgrade using Cilium's [OCI dev chart repository](https://quay.io/repository/cilium-charts-dev/cilium):

    cilium upgrade --repository oci://quay.io/cilium-charts-dev/cilium --version 1.14.0-dev-dev.4-main-797347707c

Note that `upgrade` does not mean you can only upgrade to a newer version than what is
currently installed. Similar to `helm upgrade`, `cilium upgrade` can be used to downgrade
to a previous version. For example:

     cilium install --version 1.13.3
     cilium upgrade --version 1.12.10

Please read [the upgrade guide](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/operations/upgrade/)
carefully before upgrading Cilium to understand all the necessary steps. In particular,
please note that `cilium-cli` does not automatically modify non-default Helm values during
upgrade. You can use `--dry-run` and `--dry-run-helm-values` flags to review Kubernetes
resources and non-default Helm values without actually performing an upgrade:

To see the difference between the current Kubernetes resources in a live cluster and what would
be applied:

    cilium upgrade --version v1.13.3 --dry-run | kubectl diff -f -

To see the non-default Helm values that would be used during upgrade:

    cilium upgrade --version v1.13.3 --dry-run-helm-values

> **Note**
> You can use external diff tools such as [dyff](https://github.com/homeport/dyff) to make
> `kubectl diff` output more readable.

It is strongly recommended that you use Cilium's [OCI dev chart repository](https://quay.io/repository/cilium-charts-dev/cilium)
if you need to deploy Cilium with a specific commit SHA. Alternatively, you can use `image.override`
Helm value if you need to override the cilium-agent container image. For example:

    cilium upgrade --set image.override=quay.io/cilium/cilium-ci:103e277f78ce95e922bfac98f1e74138a411778a --reuse-values

Please see Cilium's [Helm Reference](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/helm-reference/) for the
complete list of Helm values.
