Description
I only use keybase.io to download people's OpenPGP keys. I am not interested in
- An icon I will ever click at the top of my screen
- A graphical application
- A kernel module (!)
- A "service" that runs with elevated privileges at boot time
- An "updater" that phones home in the background
- ...
It used to be possible to install just the CLI using Homebrew. Apparently, that now has become a wrapper for the whole "user friendly" installation though.
Is there a way -- short of installing a Go toolchain and building from source -- to get only the CLI on a Mac? And get it into my $PATH without having to /Applications/foo/bar/mumble/something/keybase install -c cli. Could this way please be documented somewhere on keybase.io?
Thanks.

Determine whether a CLI-only installation and PATH setup are currently supported, then document the confirmed procedure or explain that it is unavailable.
