Installation

Get Nokvault installed on your system. Choose the method that works best for you.

Download Pre-built Binaries

The easiest way to get started is to download a pre-built binary for your platform from GitHub Releases.

  1. Visit GitHub Releases
  2. Download the appropriate binary for your platform (Windows, Linux, or macOS)
  3. Make it executable (Linux/macOS): chmod +x nokvault
  4. Move it to a directory in your PATH, or use it directly

Build from Source

Build Nokvault from source if you want the latest features or need to customize the build.

Prerequisites

  • Go 1.21 or later
  • Git

Build Steps

git clone https://github.com/jimididit/nokvault.git
cd nokvault

# Windows
go build -o nokvault.exe ./cmd/nokvault

# Linux/macOS

The binary will be created in the current directory. Move it to a location in your PATH to use it system-wide.
