  1. Install the package:
yum install strongbox-cli

Unsupported Java version

Strongbox requires Java 1.8 to run. Some RPM distributions are shipping /usr/bin/java from Java 1.7. To switch to Java 1.8, run the following command or confront the distribution's documentation how to achieve this task:

update-alternatives --config java

The configuration should look like this:

[root@amazon ~]# java -version
java version "1.7.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (amzn-2.6.11.0.74.amzn1-x86_64 u151-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.151-b00, mixed mode)
[root@amazon ~]# update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
   2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
[root@amazon ~]# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_141"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_141-b16)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.141-b16, mixed mode)

DEB Linux distributions (Ubuntu/Debian)

  1. Create Strongbox repository configuration file:

For Ubuntu Trusty:

echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/strongbox/strongbox-deb trusty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/strongbox.list

For Ubuntu Xenial:

echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/strongbox/strongbox-deb xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/strongbox.list

For Debian Stretch:

echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/strongbox/strongbox-deb stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/strongbox.list
  1. Import a GPG signing key: On Ubuntu distributions:
curl -s 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray' | sudo apt-key --keyring strongbox.gpg add -

On Debian Stretch:

wget -qO - https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray | sudo apt-key --keyring strongbox.gpg add -
  1. Store Strongbox GPG signing key in a file, e.g. /tmp/strongbox.key:

  1. Update the repository metadata:
sudo apt-get update
  1. Install the package:
sudo apt-get install strongbox-cli

Note: On Ubuntu Trusty, the installation might fail with the following message:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 strongbox-cli : Depends: java8-runtime-headless but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

You will need to install Java 8 on Ubuntu Trusty.

macOS

As of this moment, we support only tarball installation on macOS. In the future, we plan to add integration with Homebrew.

Download the latest tarball by visiting download page:

VERSION=<version>
curl -Lo ~/Downloads/strongbox-cli-${VERSION}.tar.gz https://dl.bintray.com/strongbox/strongbox-generic/strongbox-cli-${VERSION}.tar.gz

Extract it:

tar xf ~/Downloads/strongbox-cli-${VERSION}.tar.gz
