Description
I'm in a position where I would like to have a minimal keybase client, without the KBFS or GUI functionality. Specifically, since FUSE isn't available on WSL (Bash on Windows), and the Windows installer is too heavy for my taste, I'd like to have a minimal CLI build.
My guess is this is already supported based on poking around the repo, but I'm not sure how to make this a reality.
Edit: To clarify, a minimal Linux build, since that's probably easier.
