Build Boundary

Building Boundary from source requires:

Go. Boundary developers keep current with new releases of Go in order to take advantage of new features and to ensure that security issues within Go are addressed. If building Boundary yourself, always use the latest version and keep current.
make installed
Docker installed
Basic development environment (git, xcode if you're on Mac, etc)

$ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/boundary or if you're using SSH auth for github, $ git clone git@github.com:hashicorp/boundary
$ cd boundary
$ make install

The first time you run make install it will build UI assets, which will take a long time. After the initial build, you can update those assets to the currently-pinned version via make build-ui.

Once you've built Boundary, the binary will be available at <repo path>/bin/boundary. Move this binary to somewhere in your $PATH such as /usr/local/bin.

Cross-platform build

If you need to cross compile boundary for another OS or architecture, use the GOOS and GOARCH environment variable to set this. Example: $ GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 make install

For more details, please consult the Boundary project on GitHub.

Troubleshoot

UI assets are built inside a Docker container. If this build step fails, try increasing memory and swap available to Docker.
