Build from Source

To build SPIRE from source on Linux, you’ll need:

• git - To clone the source from GitHub. Alternatively, you could use curl or wget.
• make - To run the Makefile
• gcc - To build the binaries

The build script installs the required toolchain as needed, except for gcc. For example, the build script installs a private version of go that has been verified to successfully build SPIRE.

To build SPIRE on macOS, see Building SPIRE on macOS/Darwin.

Fetching
