How can you use muliple pachyderm versions on the same machine?

To clarify, we’re not talking about pachd, just the client, pachctl. This is written for local dev on a mac with docker.

If you’re using brew, multiple version can be installed, but only one is linked at a time.

Which versions do you have?

brew list --versions | grep pachctl
  pachctl@1.12 v1.12.5
  pachctl@2.1 v2.1.4

Which pachctl are you using?

ls -l (dirname (which pachctl)) | grep pach
  pachctl -> ../Cellar/pachctl@2.1/v2.1.4/bin/pachctl

How do you switch to the other version?

brew link --overwrite pachctl@1.12

This will leave your previous setup all janky. You’ll probably get errors like

8270 portforward.go:400] an error occurred forwarding 65052 -> 650: error
forwarding port 650 to pod

The client has changed, but it’s tripping on the setup configured with the previous client. To clean that up
