make: promu: Command not found

[aristide]

I just downloaded source code from github and i'ma having the error make: promu: Command not found when i tried to compile prometheus.

I just followed instructions from README.md
help !!!

/cc @sdurrheimer Whoops. Seems like README and docs (https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/install/) haven't been updated for promu yet?

[sdurrheimer]

The build process didn't change, it's stil make build to build it from source.

@aristide Do you have a working Golang envrionement ?

@sdurrheimer From a clean Prometheus checkout in the right GOPATH, I get:

make
>> formatting code
# cd /home/julius/gosrc/src/github.com/prometheus/promu; git pull --ff-only
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:

package github.com/prometheus/promu: exit status 1
make: *** [promu] Error 1

Go version 1.6, but I guess that's not related?

Ah duh, should have read the whole error message, my fault.

[aristide]

yes!! my golang environement his working i event compile 0.18.0.tar.gz without any trouble. But when i clone src from github it'does not work at all.

I just open Makefile from v.0.18 and the one from Github. Both are different.

[juliusv]

(ok, works for me at least, but requires proper Go setup obviously)

[juliusv]

@aristide Do you have $GOPATH/bin in your $PATH?

[juliusv]

(that's where the promu tool is installed)

[aristide]

thanks!! it's working now !!

[juliusv]

Awesome! Closing then...
