BashVault - Stay on top of your scripts and aliases

You can find out more about the platforms and terminals supported on our support page.

Download

Then follow the installation instructions for Linux or Max OS X

Linux

Install

On Linux, BashVault comes as a .zip archive. Once you download it, you should unzip it.

Inside you will find an install script, install.sh, that you can run by simply typing:

./install.sh

This will install everything at the following location on your machine:

$HOME/.local/bashvault

Setup

Once installed, the last thing you can do is make sure BashVault is always at your fingertips.

You can do so either by adding a new entry to your $PATH variable

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bashvault

or by adding it as a new alias in your shell's profile (.zshrc, .bashrc, .kshrc, etc)

alias bashvault='$HOME/.local/bashvault/bashvault'

or by symlinking

ln -s $HOME/.local/bashvault/bashvault -> /usr/local/bin

Mac OS X

Install

On Mac OS X, BashVault comes with a .dmg installer. Open it and you should see a panel that allows you to drag and drop BashVault into your Applications folder.

Once copied over, BashVault will be located at

/Applications/BashVault.app/Contents/MacOS/bashvault

Please note that both the .dmg file and BashVault.app are code signed and notarised, meaning that Gatekeeper should allow them to run.

If that's not the case, it probably means Gatekeeper is not setup to allow apps from identified developers.

To enable that, open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, Gatekeeper and, in the Security section, allow applications downloaded from App Store and identified developers.

Setup

Once installed, the last thing you can do is make sure BashVault is always at your fingertips.

You can do so either by adding a new entry to your $PATH variable

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/BashVault.app/Contents/MacOS/bashvault

or by adding it as a new alias in your shell's profile (.zshrc, .bashrc, .kshrc, etc)

alias bashvault='/Applications/BashVault.app/Contents/MacOS/bashvault'

or by symlinking

ln -s /Applications/BashVault.app/Contents/MacOS/bashvault -> /usr/local/bin

Test

You'll be able to test BashVault is installed correctly by typing the following in your terminal:
