TICK stack supported on macOS?

1

Hi, new here. I tried running through the TICK stack install instructions on macOS:

I hit some problems:

  1. Homebrew moved from using /usr/local to /opt/homebrew over four years ago
  2. influxd config returns Error: unknown command "config" for "influxd"

At this point I gave up, since I’m uncertain if any of this is maintained or supported. Is this supposed to work?

@phase Yes, all components in the TICK work on macOS.

I’m not super familiar with the build/distribution process for InfluxDB packages, but I’d suggest creating an issue on the InfluxDB repo.

The error you’re getting suggests to me that you have InfluxDB v2 installed instead of InfluxDB v1. Can you run the following command:

influxd version

If you have v2 installed and would like to continue using v2, you should install the v2 influx CLI as well:

brew install influxdb-cli

And then you can use influx server-config to view the current configuration.

If you want InfluxDB v1 and not v2, you need to install the influxdb@1 package:

brew install influxdb@1

The influxd binary for with InfluxDB v1 includes the influxd config command that you’re trying to use.
