## Dependencies:
|
|
Software projects have a few different kinds of dependencies. There are _build_
|
|
dependencies, _runtime_ dependencies, and additionally, a few extra dependencies
|
|
required for running the _test_ suite.
|
|
|
|
### Build
|
|
* `golang` 1.6 or higher (required, available in most distros)
|
|
* golang libraries (required, available with `go get ./...`) a partial list includes:
|
|
```
|
|
github.com/coreos/etcd/client
|
|
gopkg.in/yaml.v2
|
|
gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1
|
|
github.com/urfave/cli
|
|
github.com/coreos/go-systemd/dbus
|
|
github.com/coreos/go-systemd/util
|
|
github.com/libvirt/libvirt-go
|
|
```
|
|
* `stringer` (optional), available as a package on some platforms, otherwise via `go get`
|
|
```
|
|
golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer
|
|
```
|
|
* `pandoc` (optional), for building a pdf of the documentation
|
|
|
|
###Runtime
|
|
A relatively modern GNU/Linux system should be able to run `mgmt` without any
|
|
problems. Since `mgmt` runs as a single statically compiled binary, all of the
|
|
library dependencies are included. It is expected, that certain advanced
|
|
resources require host specific facilities to work. These requirements are
|
|
listed below:
|
|
|
|
| Resource | Dependency | Version |
|
|
|----------|-------------------|---------|
|
|
| file | inotify | ? |
|
|
| hostname | systemd-hostnamed | ? |
|
|
| nspawn | systemd-nspawn | ? |
|
|
| pkg | packagekitd | ? |
|
|
| svc | systemd | ? |
|
|
| virt | libvirtd | ? |
|
|
|
|
For building a visual representation of the graph, `graphviz` is required.
|
|
|
|
###Testing
|
|
* golint `github.com/golang/lint/golint`
|
|
|
|
## Quick start:
|
|
* Make sure you have golang version 1.6 or greater installed.
|
|
* If you do not have a GOPATH yet, create one and export it:
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir $HOME/gopath
|
|
export GOPATH=$HOME/gopath
|
|
```
|
|
* You might also want to add the GOPATH to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.profile`.
|
|
* For more information you can read the [GOPATH documentation](https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-GOPATH_environment_variable).
|
|
* Next download the mgmt code base, and switch to that directory:
|
|
```
|
|
go get -u github.com/purpleidea/mgmt
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/purpleidea/mgmt
|
|
```
|
|
* Run `make deps` to install system and golang dependencies. Take a look at `misc/make-deps.sh` for details.
|
|
* Run `make build` to get a freshly built `mgmt` binary.
|
|
* Run `time ./mgmt run --yaml examples/graph0.yaml --converged-timeout=5 --tmp-prefix` to try out a very simple example!
|
|
* To run continuously in the default mode of operation, omit the `--converged-timeout` option.
|
|
* Have fun hacking on our future technology!
