How to: Usage overview
Arkade can be used to install Kubernetes apps or to download CLI tools.

* `arkade install` - install a Kubernetes app
* `arkade info` - see the post installation screen for a Kubernetes app
* `arkade get` - download a CLI tool
* `arkade update` - perform a self-update of arkade on MacOS and Linux

An arkade "app" could represent a helm chart such as `openfaas/faas-netes`, a custom CLI installer such as `istioctl`, or a set of static manifests (i.e. MetalLB).

An arkade "tool" is a CLI that can be downloaded for your operating system. Arkade downloads statically-linked binaries from their upstream locations on GitHub or the vendor's chosen URL such as with `kubectl` and `terraform`.

> Did you know? Arkade users run `arkade get` both on their local workstations, and on their CI runners such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
