Install

Choose one install method:

• Homebrew if you want the simplest native install
• PowerShell Gallery if you want Invoke-KubeBuddy
• build from source if you are developing locally

Recommended: Homebrew

brew tap KubeDeckio/homebrew-kubebuddy
brew install kubebuddy
kubebuddy version

Use this on macOS or Linux when you want the native CLI on PATH.

PowerShell Gallery

Install-Module -Name KubeBuddy -Repository PSGallery -Scope CurrentUser
Invoke-KubeBuddy

The PSGallery module bundles the native binary for supported platforms. You do not need to install the Go binary separately for normal use.

Build From Source

go build -o kubebuddy ./cmd/kubebuddy
./kubebuddy version

Use this when working from the repo or testing local changes.

Requirements

• kubectl configured for the cluster you want to scan
• read access to the cluster
• for AKS:
• Azure auth for local native/PowerShell runs
• or service principal credentials for containerized runs
