[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/stackit-cli.svg?columns=1)](https://repology.org/project/stackit-cli/versions)

### macOS

The STACKIT CLI can be installed through the [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) package manager.

1. First, you need to register the [STACKIT tap](https://github.com/stackitcloud/homebrew-tap) via:

```shell
brew tap stackitcloud/tap
```

2. You can then install the CLI via:

```shell
brew install --cask stackit
```

#### Formula deprecated

The homebrew formula is deprecated, will no longer be updated and will be removed after 2026-01-22.
You need to install the STACKIT CLI as cask.  
Therefor you need to uninstall the formula and reinstall it as cask.  

Your profiles should normally remain. To ensure that nothing will be gone, you should backup them.

1. Export your existing profiles. This will create a json file in your current directory.
```shell
stackit config profile export default
```

2. If you have multiple profiles, then execute the export command for each of them. You can find your profiles via:

```shell
stackit config profile list
stackit config profile export <profile-name>
```

3. Uninstall the formula.
```shell
brew uninstall stackit
```

4. Install the STACKIT CLI as cask.
```shell
brew install --cask stackit
```

5. Check if your configs are still stored.
```shell
stackit config profile list
```

6. In case the profiles are gone, import your profiles via:
```shell
$ stackit config profile import -c @default.json --name myProfile
```
