Keybase Client

Building on macOS with brew installed git

Must use -tags production or keybase will run in dev mode and expect a local server to be running.

$ brew update; brew install go
$ go get github.com/keybase/client/go/keybase
$ cd ~/go/src/github.com/keybase/client/go/keybase
$ git checkout maxtaco/login-onetime
$ go install -tags production github.com/keybase/client/go/keybase

# Exit keybase if already running

$ keybase service
$ keybase oneshot

Building on Linux from custom location git

• /usr/bin/git-remote-keybase is required for encrypted git

Download official tarball.

$ nano ~/.bashrc
export GOPATH=$HOME/Desktop/golang
export GOROOT=$HOME/Desktop/go
export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

Use same build commands as macOS. Binary ends up in $GOPATH/bin/keybase
