Details

This function is just a convenience wrapper for prebuilt MINIO binaries, from https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/. Should support Windows, Mac, and Linux on both Intel/AMD (amd64) and ARM architectures. For details, see official MINIO docs for your operating system, e.g. https://min.io/docs/minio/macos/index.html.

NOTE: If you want to install to other than the default location, simply set the option "minioclient.dir", to the appropriate location of the directory containing your "mc" binary, e.g. options("minioclient.dir" = "~/.mc"). This is also used as the location of the config directory. Note that this package will not automatically use MINIO available on $PATH (to promote security and portability in design).

Value

path to the minio binary (invisibly)

Examples

install_mc()

# Force upgrade
install_mc(force=TRUE)
