Installation

Build the GoArchive binary from source and verify the installation.

GoArchive is distributed as source and builds into a single self-contained binary with no runtime dependencies.

Requirements

git clone https://github.com/dbsmedya/goarchive.git
cd goarchive
go build -o goarchive ./cmd/goarchive

This produces a goarchive binary in the current directory.

Move the binary somewhere on your PATH:

sudo mv goarchive /usr/local/bin/

goarchive version

The command prints the version and build information. If your shell reports that the command was not found, confirm the binary is on your PATH.
