Tye is a tool that makes developing, testing, and deploying microservices and distributed applications easier. Project Tye includes a local orchestrator to make developing microservices easier and the ability to deploy microservices to Kubernetes with minimal configuration.
> If using Mac and, if getting "command not found" errors when running `tye`, you may need to ensure that the `$HOME/.dotnet/tools` directory has been added to `PATH`.
>
> For example, add the following to the end of your `~/.zshrc` or `~/.zprofile`:
>
> ```
> # Add .NET global tools (like Tye) to PATH.
> export PATH=$HOME/.dotnet/tools:$PATH
> ```
