Install the Heroku CLI on macOS for UplinkMesh

Follow these Mac-focused steps to install the Heroku CLI, authenticate with your account, and confirm that UplinkMesh can automate pipelines, review apps, and rollbacks.

  1. 1

    Open Terminal on your Mac

    Press ⌘+Space to launch Spotlight, type Terminal, then hit Return. Keep the window open for the remaining steps.

  2. 2

    Install Homebrew if needed

    Homebrew is the recommended way to install the Heroku CLI. If you already have Homebrew, skip ahead. Otherwise run:

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

    Provide your Mac password when prompted. Homebrew installs under /opt/homebrew on Apple Silicon Macs.

  3. 3

    Install and check the Heroku CLI

    With Homebrew ready, install the CLI:

    brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku

    After the install completes, confirm the binary is available:

    heroku --version
  4. 4

    Log in and verify access

    Authenticate by running:

    heroku login

    A browser window opens—approve the request, then return to Terminal. Confirm CLI access with:

    heroku apps --limit 1

    Seeing one of your apps means the Heroku CLI is ready. Connect the Heroku integration inside UplinkMesh to sync pipelines and post-deploy automation.
