Installation
(The following instruction is for compiling and installing the gen3-client from source code. There are also binary executables can be found at here)
First, install Go and the Go tools if you have not already done so. Set up your workspace and your GOPATH.
Then:
go get -d github.com/uc-cdis/gen3-client
go install
TODO: Remove after GitHub repo is renamed For now, the above actually won't work because the GitHub repo needs to be renamed. Do this instead:
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/uc-cdis
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/uc-cdis
git clone git@github.com:uc-cdis/cdis-data-client.git
mv cdis-data-client gen3-client
cd gen3-client
go get -d ./...
go install .
Now you should have gen3-client successfully installed. For a comprehensive instruction on how to configure and use gen3-client for uploading / downloading object files, please refer to the gen3-client user guide.
