Installer reference - FalkorDB Enterprise

scripts/install.sh installs or updates FalkorDB Enterprise on any Kubernetes cluster reachable by kubectl. It prints an install plan and asks for confirmation before changing the cluster.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalkorDB/FalkorDB-Enterprise/refs/heads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Every long option has an environment variable equivalent in uppercase with underscores. For example, --kube-context maps to KUBE_CONTEXT and --namespace maps to NAMESPACE.
