Building Elvish
To build Elvish, you need
-
Linux, {Free,Net,Open}BSD, macOS, or Windows (Windows support is experimental).
-
Go >= 1.11.
If you have not done so, first set up your environment by following How To Write Go Code.
There are two ways to build Elvish. You can build it directly with go get:
go get github.com/elves/elvishHowever, binaries built in this way lacks some build-time information; for instance, elvish -version will show unknown. To add such information, use make:
cd `go env GOPATH`/src/github.com/elves/elvish
make getIn either cases, the binary is placed in $GOPATH/bin. Consider adding it to your $PATH if you want to run the Elvish binary you just built by just typing elvish.
