== Build requirements for Vault
Spring Cloud Vault Config requires SSL certificates and a running Vault instance listening on `localhost:8200`.
Certificates and the Vault setup are scripted, the scripts are located in `src/test/bash`.
The following scripts need to be run prior to building the project for the tests to pass.
[source,bash]
----
$ ./src/test/bash/install_vault.sh
$ ./src/test/bash/create_certificates.sh
$ ./src/test/bash/local_run_vault.sh
----
Leave Vault uninitialized, the tests will initialize and unseal Vault.
They will also create a root token `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000`.
Changes to the documentation should be made to the adocs found under `docs/src/main/asciidoc/`
`README.adoc` can be re-generated via the following
[source,bash]
----
$ ./docs/src/main/ruby/generate_readme.sh > README.adoc
----
This script requires ruby and the asciidoctor gem installed (`gem install asciidoctor`)
