Hi, I submitted a PR to the homebrew <http://brew.sh/> project (Mac’s unofficial package manager) to add a formula for installing Flink 1.0.2. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/968 <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/968>
This will simplify installation on Mac. Here’s the typical flow: $ brew info apache-flink apache-flink: stable 1.0.2, HEAD Scalable batch and stream data processing https://flink.apache.org/ Not installed From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/apache-flink.rb $ brew install apache-flink ==> Downloading https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua?path=flink/flink-1.0.2/flink-1.0.2-bin-hadoop26-scala_2.10.tgz Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/apache-flink-1.0.2.tgz 🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/apache-flink/1.0.2: 88 files, 89.9M, built in 4 seconds $ flink --version Version: 1.0.2, Commit ID: d39af15 I made the somewhat arbitrary choice to use Scala 2.10 and Hadoop 2.6 for consistency with the apache-spark formula. In future the formula may be parameterized to allow the user to decide. I chose to add only the `flink`, `pyflink2.sh`, and `pyflink3.sh` commands to the system path. I felt that the names of the other bin scripts are too vague (`start-local.sh`, etc) to be on the system path. I considered `flink-daemon` but was unsure it is a documented tool. There’s still a chance to change the PR before it is merged. Of course we can change it further with 1.0.3. Enjoy, Eron Wright
