# TiUP

`tiup` is a tool to download and install TiDB components.

For detailed documentation, see the manual which starts with an [overview](overview.md).

To get started with TiDB using TiUP, see the [TiDB quick start guide](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/quick-start-with-tidb). To deploy TiDB using TiUP in a production-like environment, see the [TiDB deployment guide](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/production-deployment-using-tiup).

## Installation

```sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://tiup-mirrors.pingcap.com/install.sh | sh
```

## Quick start

### Run playground

```sh
tiup playground
```

### Install components

```sh
tiup install tidb tikv pd
```

### Uninstall components

```sh
tiup uninstall tidb tikv pd
```

### Update components

```sh
tiup update --all
```

# Usage
After installing `tiup`, you can use it to install binaries of TiDB components and create clusters.

```
TiUP is a command-line component management tool that can help to download and install
TiDB platform components to the local system. You can run a specific version of a component via
"tiup <component>[:version]". If no version number is specified, the latest version installed
locally will be used. If the specified component does not have any version installed locally,
the latest stable version will be downloaded from the repository.

Usage:
  tiup [flags] <command> [args...]
  tiup [flags] <component> [args...]

Available Commands:
  install     Install a specific version of a component
  list        List the available TiDB components or versions
  uninstall   Uninstall components or versions of a component
  update      Update tiup components to the latest version
  status      List the status of instantiated components
  clean       Clean the data of instantiated components
  mirror      Manage a repository mirror for TiUP components
  telemetry   Controls things about telemetry
  completion  Output shell completion code for the specified shell (bash or zsh)
  env         Show the list of system environment variable that related to TiUP
  help        Help about any command or component

Components Manifest:
  use "tiup list" to fetch the latest components manifest

Flags:
  -B, --binary <component>[:version]   Print binary path of a specific version of a component <component>[:version]
                                       and the latest version installed will be selected if no version specified
      --binpath string                 Specify the binary path of component instance
      --help                           Help for this command
      --skip-version-check             Skip the strict version check, by default a version must be a valid SemVer string
  -v, --version                        Print the version of tiup

Components that support "tag" share a data directory for the same tag ($TIUP_HOME/data/$tag):
  $ tiup playground --tag mycluster

Examples:
  $ tiup playground                    # Quick start
  $ tiup playground nightly            # Start a playground with the latest nightly version
  $ tiup install <component>[:version] # Install a component of specific version
  $ tiup update --all                  # Update all installed components to the latest version
  $ tiup update --nightly              # Update all installed components to the nightly version
  $ tiup update --self                 # Update the "tiup" to the latest version
  $ tiup list                          # Fetch the latest supported components list
  $ tiup status                        # Display all running/terminated instances
  $ tiup clean <name>                  # Clean the data of running/terminated instance (Kill process if it's running)
  $ tiup clean --all                   # Clean the data of all running/terminated instances

Use "tiup [command] --help" for more information about a command.
