Prometheus pre build binary for Mac OS X

The downloads page has a build for Darwin on amd64.

To quote the wikipedia page:

Darwin forms the core set of components upon which macOS (previously OS X and Mac OS X), iOS, watchOS, and tvOS are based.

This is the official binary for OSX. Other methods (such as brew install prometheus are also available).


Install and download Docker from this link - https://docs.docker.com/v17.12/docker-for-mac/install/#download-docker-for-mac.

You can launch the your terminal. You can launch a Prometheus container for trying it out with

$ docker run --name prometheus -d -p 127.0.0.1:9090:9090 prom/prometheus

Prometheus will now be reachable at http://localhost:9090/.
