Homebrew formulae for Buildkite software

Buildkite Homebrew Formulae

A collection of Buildkite formulae for Homebrew, a package manager for macOS.

To use the formulae, tap this repository into your home brew:

brew tap buildkite/buildkite

This repository will have been cloned into your Homebrew’s Libray/Taps directory (most commonly /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps), and whenever you do a brew update Homebrew will also update this tap (using git pull) and you’ll have the latest versions of the formulae.

buildkite-agent

Installing

To install buildkite-agent:

brew install --token='your-agent-token-here' buildkite-agent

You can find your agent token on your "Agents" page in Buildkite.

If you want it start on login follow the brew install instructions to install the LaunchAgent plist. You’ll also want to make sure your PC is set to automatically login (the agent won’t launch until you've logged in) and you’ve prevented your machine from going to sleep.

Using a LaunchAgent instead of a LaunchDaemon does require a user login, but it allows your tests to use GUI tools (such as the iOS Simulator) and avoids any file permissions problems.

Upgrading

brew update && brew upgrade buildkite-agent
