here is an error.

go get keybase

        'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
        To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,

        or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.

@wasdee with newer versions of go (> 1.16 I think) go get ... doesn't work as before, since the new modular approach does not rely on a fixed structure on the filesystem (e.g. the old ~/go/repository-name/package-name format). Instead, go applications can be built from any directory whatsoever.

One way of overcoming this issue is to replicate the 'old' method and use git clone to get at least the base client code in place. So, instead of those two first lines, try the following:

mkdir -p ~/go/github.com/keybase
cd ~/go/github.com/keybase
git clone https://github.com/keybase/client
cd ~/go/github.com/keybase

Then start from line 4 onwards as described, i.e. echo go build keybase && go build -tags...

There is a catch at the very end: curl https://github.com/keybase/client/blob/master/packaging/linux/run_keybase > run_keybase will actually retrieve an HTML file for the page hosting the run_keybase script, not the script itself. To get that, it's better to use something like:

sudo wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keybase/client/master/packaging/linux/run_keybase -P /usr/bin && \
sudo chmod +x ./run_keybase

This should retrieve the script proper.

As an extra bonus: once I had the Keybase commands compiled for ARM64 on the Raspberry Pi, it was easy enough to re-use them on a Synology NAS as well :-)

thank you.
I did found a way to compile it successfully for a while. Here is how i compile it.

git clone https://github.com/keybase/client ~/Downloads/client
cd ~/Downloads/client/packaging/linux
mkdir build
KEYBASE_BUILD_ARM_ONLY=1 KEYBASE_SKIP_32_BIT=1 ./build_binaries.sh production build

sudo mv build/binaries/arm64/usr/bin/keybase /usr/bin/ 

echo installing systemd services && \
sudo wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keybase/client/master/packaging/linux/systemd/keybase.service -P /usr/lib/systemd/user/
systemctl --user enable /usr/lib/systemd/user/keybase.service

Hi @wasdee , do you still use this script nowadays ? I don't seems to be able to compile on a rpi4 using your instructions ... I'm stuck a some cgo-gcc-export-header-prolog:31:14: error: size of array ‘_check_for_64_bit_pointer_matching_GoInt’ is negative error

@CooperGerman im not using it much today. the script remains the same.
