/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Step 2: Update Homebrew
Make sure Homebrew is up-to-date by running:

brew update

Step 3: Install InfluxDB
You can install InfluxDB using Homebrew:

brew install influxdb

Step 4: Start InfluxDB
Start the InfluxDB service using Homebrew services:

brew services start influxdb
Alternatively, you can start InfluxDB manually:

influxd

Step 5: Verify Installation
You can verify that InfluxDB is running by checking its status:

brew services list
You can also use the InfluxDB command line interface (CLI) to ensure it's working:

influx
This should open the InfluxDB CLI.
