This gist is a little long in the tooth, so your mileage my vary. We also covered NPK in a podcast episode.
This is an in-progress quick start install guide for NPK on Ubuntu 18.
From a new Ubuntu 18 box, install the essentials:
apt install unzip -y
apt install python3-pip -y
apt install jq -y
apt install npm -y
pip3 install awscli --upgrade —-user
Download/build install the Google version of jsonnet!!! Installing the apt/snap version from Ubuntu was a major issue for me that caused NPK's install to fail terribly!
Now open ~/.profile and add this to the end:
export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
Now update that file with:
source ~/.profile
Download a working version of Terraform (the very latest seems not to work right with NPK):
cd /tmp
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.11.2/terraform_0.11.2_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_0.11.2_linux_amd64.zip
cp terraform ./local/bin
Create an npk user with awscli:
aws configure —-profile npk
When asked, fill out AWS access key, secret access key, default region name (I think us-east-1 is fine).
Then download NPK:
git clone https://github.com/Coalfire-Research/npk.git /opt/npk
Now follow their instructions to configure the npk-settings.json file and then you should (fingers crossed) be ready to run deploy.sh and let the crackin' begin!
