* libc
* libsasl
* libsystemd

## Install

Use these steps to install Core Agent:

1. Either download the latest `.pkg` file from the
   [Core Agent downloads page](https://calyptia-lts-release-standard.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html),

   ```shell /VERSION/ theme={null}
   wget https://calyptia-lts-release-standard.s3.amazonaws.com/macos/VERSION/calyptia-fluent-bit-VERSION-apple.pkg
   ```

   Replace both instances of *`VERSION`* with the
