In this tutorial, we’re also going to use Checkov CLI. The CLI works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can install it with pip:
pip3 install checkov
If installing globally on your system (not in a python venv or pipenv) you may need to have permissions to write the libraries to the necessary locations, ie:
sudo pip3 install checkov
If you run into problems, try the alternate install instructions.
We’ll also be using a new Bridgecrew open source tool, Yor, to make tagging and tracing infrastructure between code and the cloud easier, to install into our linux environment, run the following:
wget -q -O - https://github.com/bridgecrewio/yor/releases/download/0.1.62/yor-0.1.62-linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -xvz -C /usr/bin
Now test we can run yor
