I want to install Fluent Bit on macOS Catalina. All the resources available are for Ubuntu and Windows.
I followed this guide for Ubuntu [1].
Can anyone guide me on this?

  1. I doubt that you can install those debian packages on macOS. But you can surely build from the source. There is a link on official documentation on how to build and install from source.

    But from my experience you better get an understanding of possible errors that might come if you just try to download and install. Have a look at this post about pre-requisites. Once you have add those dependencies, surely you can build and installed on a macOS.

    If you really want to install a package version on Mac, use it with homebrew.

  2. You can install Fluent Bit on Mac with homebrew:

    brew install fluent-bit
    

    In my experience, on Mac it is very unstable and when I’ve attempted to do something simple like tailing logs you’ll get lots of crashes.
