The basic recipe

• Find the Zip file listed matching the architecture you’re running and download it
  • (e.g. if you’re on a Windows 10 laptop/Surface with a amd64 style CPU you’d choose the Zip file with “windows-amd64” in the name).
• Download the zip file and unzip the file.
• Copy the contents of the folder named “bin” to a folder that is in your path
  • (e.g. “$HOME/bin” is common).
• Adjust your PATH if needed
  • (e.g. export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH")
• Test

Mac OS X

1. Download the zip file
2. Unzip the zip file
3. Copy the executables to $HOME/bin (or a folder in your path)
4. Make sure the new location in in our path
5. Test

Here’s an example of the commands run in the Terminal App after downloading the zip file.

    cd Downloads/
    unzip dataset-*-macosx-amd64.zip
    mkdir -p $HOME/bin
    cp -v bin/* $HOME/bin/
    export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
    dataset -version

Windows

1. Download the zip file
2. Unzip the zip file
3. Copy the executables to $HOME/bin (or a folder in your path)
4. Test

Here’s an example of the commands run in from the Bash shell on Windows 10 after downloading the zip file.

    cd Downloads/
    unzip dataset-*-windows-amd64.zip
    mkdir -p $HOME/bin
    cp -v bin/* $HOME/bin/
    export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
    dataset -version

Linux

1. Download the zip file
2. Unzip the zip file
3. Copy the executables to $HOME/bin (or a folder in your path)
4. Test

Here’s an example of the commands run in from the Bash shell after downloading the zip file.

    cd Downloads/
    unzip dataset-*-linux-amd64.zip
    mkdir -p $HOME/bin
    cp -v bin/* $HOME/bin/
    export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
    dataset -version

Raspberry Pi

Released version is for a Raspberry Pi 2 or later use (i.e. requires ARM 7 support).

1. Download the zip file
2. Unzip the zip file
3. Copy the executables to $HOME/bin (or a folder in your path)
4. Test

Here’s an example of the commands run in from the Bash shell after downloading the zip file.

    cd Downloads/
    unzip dataset-*-raspbian-arm7.zip
    mkdir -p $HOME/bin
    cp -v bin/* $HOME/bin/
    export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
    dataset -version

Compiling from source

dataset is “go gettable”. Use the “go get” command to download the dependant packages as well as dataset’s source code.

    go get -u github.com/caltechlibrary/dataset/...

Or clone the repstory and then compile

    cd
    git clone https://github.com/caltechlibrary/dataset src/github.com/caltechlibrary/dataset
    cd src/github.com/caltechlibrary/dataset
    make
    make test
    make install

Compilation assumes go v1.10 and bleve v0.6.0.
