aws-vault on a Chromebook

Posted on One min read

I have moved almost exclusively to a Chromebook for my day-to-day work
(a whole other set of blog posts - on the journey and outcome are planned), and I was missing one of the tools in belt and that was aws-vault.

If you look at the releases you will see that there is no binary available for arm.

I opened up an issue on the repository - and the answer that I got was - that it is not likely to have any binary released for ARM in the near future, I should go and compile it for myself.

I did, here are the steps.

## Install go
sudo apt-get install -y golang-go

## Setup environment variables for go
mkdir ~/go-dir
export GOPATH="$HOME/go-dir/"

#compile directly from github
go get -u github.com/99designs/aws-vault

Hope it is useful for someone in the future.
