Manual CLI Installation

Archive Collection

Beacon releases publish platform archives for macOS and Linux on amd64 and arm64. Each archive includes the beacon CLI and the matching beacon-otelcol collector binary, with SHA-256 checksums published alongside the release. For managed endpoint rollouts on Apple Silicon Macs, GitHub Releases also attach a signed, notarized, and stapled BeaconEndpointAgent-<version>-arm64.pkg. The package installs Beacon under /opt/beacon, includes the collector and Vector binary, and is intended for MDM or root-managed system deployments rather than per-user CLI installs.
