Vault Cross Platform Client Preview 2


Access Vault from Mac OS X and Linux


The Vault Cross Platform Client Preview 2 (Vault CPC) is a Java(TM)-based application which lets you access your Vault repositories from Mac OS X or Linux.

Currently, the Vault CPC is limited in functionality to just basic source code control operations and is provided to give users a glimpse into the current state of porting the Vault GUI Client to other platforms. It has been tested on Ubuntu Linux and OS X 10.7 and greater.

Vault CPC Preview 2 requires the Java JDK 7 (Mac OS X) or a Java SE 7 (Linux) in addition to a Vault 7 Server.

The Official Vault Cross Platform Client edition will be included as a part of the upcoming release of Vault 8.
