How to build
mvwijland opened this issue · 5 comments
Hi Gani, Thank you for providing us with this new version of the presentator. I would like to run it internally, but we are running on Apple MACs (Intel and M2). How do I create a local working version? Can you add some text in the READMe about building the application?
Please follow the instructions from https://github.com/presentator/presentator?tab=readme-ov-file#local-setup.
It should be enough to download the binary for your platforms, in your case I guess that would be the darwin_amd64 and darwin_arm64 versions:
- Intel (x86_64/amd64) - https://github.com/presentator/presentator/releases/download/v3.1.0/presentator_3.1.0_darwin_amd64.zip
- M2 (arm64) - https://github.com/presentator/presentator/releases/download/v3.1.0/presentator_3.1.0_darwin_arm64.zip.
edit: added link for the Intel Mac.
If you want to build the binary from the repo on your own:
-
Clone/download the repo.
-
Navigate to
yourclonedrepo/basedirectory. -
Run
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build . -o ./presentator -
Execute the created binary with
./presentator serve.
If you need further help, feel free to elaborate what exactly did you find difficult and I'll update the instructions.
To avoid eventual confusion since it is not clear what do you mean by the plural in "we are running on Apple MACs" note that Presentator is a web application and it needs to be installed on a web server (aka. it is not a desktop application and users can access it from their web browser; they don't have to install anything in addition).
Gani, great, thank you. I will run this on one of our Mac servers.
But again, note that you don't need to build anything. Presentator v3 is based on top of PocketBase and it contains everything (including the database) in the prebuilt binary (uploaded files and data will be stored in a pb_data directory next to the executable).
There are no dependencies or anything extra that needs to be installed. Just make sure to download the correct binary for your platform and follow the Local setup instructions.
If you are not able to run the binary from your Mac you can check the instructions how to enable its execution from this related issue pocketbase/pocketbase#2819.
