Forget the previously installed tools

If you have already installed the Tools, you might need to "forget" the previously installed version, to avoid potential conflicts with the new version.

To see what version of Tools is currently installed:

pkgutil --pkgs | grep 'aerospike.tools'

Run the following command to forget the previous installations (where x.y.z is the current version):

sudo pkgutil --forget com.aerospike.tools.x.y.z

Install Aerospike Tools

Install the downloaded package by double-clicking the package file and following the prompts.

Verify installation

Verify the package installation:

$ pkgutil --pkgs | grep 'aerospike.tools'

If security is enabled for your Aerospike cluster, provide the username and password each time you verify one of the tools.
