## Installation

### Install script (macOS, Linux)

The most convenient way to install the CLI on macOS and Linux is via the installation scripts.

```bash
curl -fsSL https://pinecone.io/install.sh | sh
```

To pin a specific version:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://pinecone.io/install.sh | PINECONE_VERSION=0.4.1 sh
```

To install to a custom directory:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://pinecone.io/install.sh | PINECONE_INSTALL=$HOME/.local/bin sh
```

#### Uninstall

To uninstall the CLI, use the uninstall script:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://pinecone.io/uninstall.sh | sh
```

#### Upgrading

Re-running the install script will fetch and install the latest version, overwriting the existing binary:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://pinecone.io/install.sh | sh
```
