Install Kong Mesh

This guide is mostly useful for Universal setup, as for Kubernetes we recommend using kubectl for managing resources. More in Kubernetes quickstart guide.

This is a simple guide on how to install Kong Mesh on your machine.

Go to the Kong Mesh packages page to download and extract the installation archive for your OS, or download and extract the latest release automatically (Linux or macOS):
```
curl -L https://docs.konghq.com/mesh/installer.sh | VERSION=preview sh -
```
To finish installation, add Kong Mesh binaries to path:
```
export PATH=$(pwd)/-preview/bin:$PATH
```
This directory contains binaries for kuma-dp, kuma-cp, kumactl, envoy and coredns

If you only need kumactl on macOS you can install it via brew install kumactl.
