Its very easy to install the vault on your local machine. There is different way of installing the vault.

I am going to provide details here how you can install using the brew.

Run following commands to install the vault-

brew tap hashicorp/tap
brew install hashicorp/tap/vault

To run the server :

 vault server --dev --dev-root-token-id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"

You may need to set the following environment variables:

The unseal key and root token are displayed below in case you want to

Unseal Key: KR53wRfm1RqB6xdXbIm/mCGlPdyARzSAHZwV7cLBs/8=
Root Token: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
