- Install Go
First step, download and install Go. Go to https://golang.org/dl/ and install the current featured Go for Microsoft Windows. At time of writing, this is go1.10.2.windows-amd64.msi
. Run the downloaded MSI installer.
- Install Git
Go to https://git-for-windows.github.io/ and download the Windows version. Install that. It's a good idea to select to option to put the Git Bash shell either on your desktop or somewhere equally accessible.
- Make directories
Start the Git Bash shell. We now need to make the go build hierachy:
mkdir go
We need to set the GOPATH environment variable. This is going to point at the directory we just made and lets Go locate other packages. We'll just set it temporarily here like so:
export GOPATH=`pwd`/go/
Nowe we can build the rest of the tree:
cd go
mkdir pkg bin src
cd src
mkdir github.com
cd github.com
mkdir compose
cd compose
- Clone transporter
We now can download the transporter source into this directory
git clone https://github.com/compose/transporter
- Build the transporter
Finally, we can issue the build command
cd transporter
go get -a ./...
go build ./cmd/transporter
and that should give us transporter.exe
in the current directory.
