How to Install Vaults from Github on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing Vaults on NetBSD. Vaults is a password manager written in Rust and it provides a command-line interface to manage your secrets securely.

Before we begin, make sure you have Rust installed on your system. You can check if Rust is installed by running the following command:

rustc --version

If Rust is not installed on your system, you can download and install it by following the instructions on the official Rust website.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step in installing Vaults is to install its dependencies. Here are the commands that you need to run to install the necessary dependencies on NetBSD:

pkgin update
pkgin install git gmake pkg-config

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Now that we have all the dependencies installed, let's clone the Vaults repository from Github:

git clone https://github.com/MatrixEternal/vaults.git

Step 3: Build and Install Vaults

Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the Vaults directory and build it using the following command:

cd vaults
cargo build --release

This command will build Vaults and create a binary file called vaults in the target/release directory.

Next, copy the vaults binary to the /usr/local/bin directory, which is in your system's PATH:

cp target/release/vaults /usr/local/bin/

Step 4: Test the Installation

Finally, let's test if Vaults has been installed successfully. Run the following command to ensure that Vaults is installed properly:

vaults --version

If everything has been installed correctly, you should see the version number of the installed Vaults. Congratulations, you have successfully installed Vaults on NetBSD!

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have walked you through the steps to install Vaults on NetBSD. Be sure to use Vaults to store your secrets securely and protect your passwords.
