macOS

macOS releases are available for Intel and ARM systems. The releases are packaged as gzipped tarballs (.tar.gz). To unpack them, run the following commands:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fOL https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases/download/v0.139.0/otelcol_0.139.0_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf otelcol_0.139.0_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fOL https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases/download/v0.139.0/otelcol_0.139.0_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
tar -xvf otelcol_0.139.0_darwin_arm64.tar.gz

Every Collector release includes an otelcol executable that you can run after unpacking.
