Installation

You can install the apigee-go-gen binary in several ways.

Manual download

The most straightforward way to install the tool is to download a release tar ball from the available GitHub releases.

Once you download the tarball, extract it and move the apigee-go-gen binary to somewhere in your $PATH

Automated install

For your convenience, there is an install script available.

This script downloads and installs the apigee-go-gen tool automatically for you.

The script takes version, and install directory as optional parameters

  • If version is omitted, it will download the latest tagged release.
  • If install directory is omitted, it will install to /usr/local/bin
  • If install directory is not writable, it will prompt you for sudo password.

Below are a few examples of how to execute the install script

e.g.

Install latest version into /usr/local/bin directory 

curl -s https://apigee.github.io/apigee-go-gen/install | sh

Install specific version into /usr/local/bin directory 

curl -s https://apigee.github.io/apigee-go-gen/install | sh -s v0.1.13

Install latest version into ~/.local/bin directory 

curl -s https://apigee.github.io/apigee-go-gen/install | sh -s latest ~/.local/bin

Install specific version into ~/.local/bin directory 

curl -s https://apigee.github.io/apigee-go-gen/install | sh -s v0.1.13 ~/.local/bin

From source

If you already have Go installed in your machine, run the following command:

go install github.com/apigee/apigee-go-gen/cmd/...@latest

This will download the source, build it (in your machine) and install the apigee-go-gen binary into your $GOPATH/bin directory.

You can change the @latest tag for any other version that has been tagged. (e.g. @v0.1.13)

Note

The Go tool (and compiler) is only necessary to build the tools in this repo. Once built, you can copy the tool binaries and use them in any other machine of the same architecture and operating system (without needing Go).
