Whoa!? What just happened?

Steampipe's one step installer downloaded the steampipe binary, installed it into /usr/local/bin, and then created a .steampipe directory in your home directory with all the supporting libraries and configuration needed to get started (including PostgreSQL). Now, get to work!

How do you update Steampipe?

UPDATE STEP 1: Update Steampipe
~$ brew upgrade turbot/tap/steampipe

Homebrew core vs turbot/tap?

Our recommended source for latest releases is the turbot/tap repository, which is kept up to date automatically.

But, because of its popularity, the Homebrew Core team also maintains a formula for Steampipe. It is also available for use, but may lag the latest releases on turbot/tap due to the approval process.

Want more control over the install process?

Steampipe is also available as a binary executable (or you can build from source). To manually install Steampipe, unzip the executable and move it to a directory included in your system's PATH.

You can access the source, zipped executables and binary checksums from the releases section of the Steampipe Github repo.
