Less Installation guide
Closed this issue · 2 comments
The installation guide on platforms is very confusing, missing and complex.
There are 3 platforms and its kind of jumbled. Which is the server installation and which is the daemon on each platform is kind of confusing. There is no instructions on how to build on macOS or Windows.
I tried to build on macOS and realised I don't have GO installed so I installed it but this is what the issue is for any newcomers. Its really complex to get start using this project. As we have to build it from scratch on each platform.
If there is a premade binary for each platform then that would be easy for anyone to start using without having deep technical skills.
This is a good project, only thing it lacks is ease to start, please address this issue
ok I was able to build and run it on windows. I don't know what made it work but I did these:
CMD admin
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
choco install make
Installed GO
Installed GIT BASH and ran the following
cd C:\Users\USERNAME\source\repos\midgard
make -d
Binary
a mg file is created and I renamed it to mg.exe and added the path to environment variable
However there is one thing, even though I moved only the binary to a new location, but it keeps referencing the config.yml in the source-code directory
for some reason when I use the url with port it doesn't work
