Vaults is a useful tool for securely managing credentials and secrets in any environment. In this tutorial, we will be guiding you through the steps required to install Vaults from its source code on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

cd ./cmd/vaults/
Then, build Vaults using the following command:
go build
