![[Grafana Alloy.svg]]
Grafana Alloy is a new, opinionated, [[Open source|open-source]] flavour of the [[OpenTelemetry Collector]] created by [[Grafana Labs]] as a fork of [[Grafana Agent]]. Practically, Alloy is Agent in flow mode.
Here's a quick explanation by [[Matt Durham]], maintainer of both the Grafana Agent and Grafana Alloy repos:

## Installing Alloy
On [[macOS]], you can install Alloy by using [[Homebrew]]:
First, add the [[Grafana Labs]] repository to Homebrew so that it tracks changes in it:
```shell
brew tap grafana/grafana
```
Then, install Alloy from that repository:
```shell
brew install grafana/grafana/alloy
```
