Bash V5

Bash is the default command line interpreter for many Unix-based operating systems, including macOS. However MacOS, by default, comes with an older version of Bash (version 3.2.57) due to licensing reasons. Bash V5 is the latest major version and offers numerous improvements and features compared to previous versions. In KIRA, some commands used in scripts might require Bash V5 to properly execute.
Bash
Copy
# Install Bash V5 brew install bash # Add Bash V5 to the list of acceptable shells echo "/usr/local/bin/bash" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells # Change your default shell to Bash V5 chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash # Restart your terminal and check version echo $BASH_VERSION

Cosign

Cosign is a digital signature utility that is used to verify the authenticity and integrity of a file. When a file is signed with a digital signature, it provides a way to verify that the file has not been tampered with, and also to verify the identity of the person or entity who signed the file. It is used in Kira to sign and verify the authenticity of data, such as proprietary tools, binaries and scripts.

Bash-utils

Callout icon
The prerequisite to install BU is COSIGN tool that will guarantee the integrity of the files and Bash V5 for better compatibility. They MUST be installed and KIRA’s public key added before proceeding.
Callout icon
Unfortunately, certain commands within the bash-utils tool may not behave properly on macOS due to slight variations in command behavior, such as the 'sed' command, which exhibit differences between Mac and Linux platforms.
Bash-utils is a collection of utility functions and aliases for Bash shell scripts. It provides various functions for managing environment variables, displaying information, and handling errors. Bash-utils is used in KIRA to streamline and simplify the process of executing various tasks within the network.
Bash
Copy
sudo -s && . /etc/profile TOOLS_VERSION="v0.3.46" && FILE_NAME="bash-utils.sh" && \ if [ -z "$KIRA_COSIGN_PUB" ] ; then echo "ERROR: KIRA_COSIGN_PUB variable is not set. Please refer to cosign installation to add KIRA's public key path as variable." exit fi && \ wget "https://github.com/KiraCore/tools/releases/download/$TOOLS_VERSION/${FILE_NAME}" -O ./$FILE_NAME && \ wget "https://github.com/KiraCore/tools/releases/download/$TOOLS_VERSION/${FILE_NAME}.sig" -O ./${FILE_NAME}.sig && \ cosign verify-blob --key="$KIRA_COSIGN_PUB" --signature=./${FILE_NAME}.sig ./$FILE_NAME && \ chmod -v 555 ./$FILE_NAME && ./$FILE_NAME bashUtilsSetup "/var/kiraglob" && . /etc/profile && \ echo "Installed bash-utils $(bash-utils bashUtilsVersion)"

Dependencies

Golang

Install Go
Callout icon
$GOBIN is required as environment variable for building SEKAI
Callout icon
setGlobEnv and setGlobPath are amongst the commands that do not behave properly. Consider adding/editing the environment variable manually.
Bash
Copy
# Install Go brew install go # Assume root permissions sudo -s # Set environment variables (manually) goVersion=$(go version | awk '{print $3}' | cut -c 3-) && \ GOROOT="/usr/local/Cellar/go/$goVersion" && \ GOBIN="$GOROOT/bin" && \ GOPATH="$HOME/go" && \ PATH="$GOBIN:$GOPATH:$PATH" # Add variables to /etc/profile echo "export GOROOT=\"$GOROOT\"" >> /etc/profile echo "export GOBIN=\"$GOBIN\"" >> /etc/profile echo "export GOPATH=\"$GOPATH\"" >> /etc/profile echo "export PATH=\"$PATH\"" >> /etc/profile

SEKAI installation

Login as admin & load environment variables. Using bash shell and sourcing /etc/profile is necessary.
Bash
Copy
# Assume sudo sudo -s && . /etc/profile
Set desired SEKAI release version and binaries repo (requires bash-utils).
Bash
Copy
setGlobEnv SEKAI_VERSION "v0.3.20" && \ setGlobEnv SEKAI_REPO "$HOME/sekai" && \ loadGlobEnvs
Clone repo and install
Bash
Copy
rm -fr $SEKAI_REPO && rm -fr $GOBIN/sekaid && mkdir $SEKAI_REPO && cd $SEKAI_REPO && \ git clone https://github.com/KiraCore/sekai.git -b $SEKAI_VERSION $SEKAI_REPO && \ chmod -R 777 ./scripts && make install && \ echo "SUCCESS installed sekaid $(sekaid version)" || echo "FAILED"

Alternative installation processes

Using Binaries

Unfortunately, it is not possible to install .deb packages on MacOS as of now.
