Installing Gofer

Gofer comes as an easy to distribute pre-compiled binary that you can run on your machine locally, but you can always build Gofer from source if need be.

Pre-compiled (Recommended)

You can download the latest version for linux here:

wget https://github.com/clintjedwards/gofer/releases/latest/download/gofer

From Source

Gofer contains protobuf assets which will not get compiled if used via go install. To solve for this we can use make to build ourselves an impromptu version.

git clone https://github.com/clintjedwards/gofer && cd gofer
make build OUTPUT=/tmp/gofer SEMVER=0.0.dev
/tmp/gofer --version
