 *NIX-like operating systems that provides:
 
 * `wget`, `openssl` and `unzip`
-* at least Java 7 and a properly configured `JAVA_HOME` environment variable
+* at least Java 8 and a properly configured `JAVA_HOME` environment variable

+NOTE: This guide explains Vault setup from a Spring Cloud Vault perspective for integration testing. You can find a getting started guide directly on the Vault project site: https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault
 
 *Install Vault*
 
 [source,bash]
 ----
-$ src/test/bash/install_vault.sh
+$ wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vault/${vault_version}/vault_${vault_version}_${platform}.zip
+$ unzip vault_${vault_version}_${platform}.zip
 ----
 
+NOTE: These steps can be achieved by downloading and running https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-vault/blob/master/src/test/bash/install_vault.sh[`install_vault.sh`].

 *Create SSL certificates for Vault*

+Next, you'r required to generate a set of certificates:
 
-NOTE: `create_certificates.sh` creates certificates in `work/ca` and a JKS truststore `work/keystore.jks`. If you want to run Spring Cloud Vault using this quickstart guide you need to configure the truststore the `spring.cloud.vault.ssl.trust-store` property to `file:work/keystore.jks`.
+* Root CA
+* Vault Certificate (decrypted key `work/ca/private/localhost.decrypted.key.pem` and certificate `work/ca/certs/localhost.cert.pem`)
+
+Make sure to import the Root Certificate into a Java-compliant truststore.
+
+The easiest way to achieve this is by using OpenSSL.
