Linsk installation instructions for macOS

Here you will find the instructions on how you can install Linsk on macOS.

Prerequisites

Linsk aims to have minimal dependencies. In this section, you can find the instructions to install the required dependencies.

QEMU

QEMU is what Linsk uses to run virtual machines.

The easiest way to install QEMU on macOS is to use brew package manager.

brew install qemu

(Optional) Go v1.21 or higher

OPTIONAL: You need to install Go only if you want to use go install installation method or build Linsk from the bare Git repository.

You can find the installer on Go's official website: https://go.dev/dl/.

Installation

Using Go's go install

Assuming that you have an existing Go installation, you should be able to access the go install command which will build the project from source and put it to $GOPATH/bin directory. By default, $GOPATH is $HOME/go.

You can run the following command to build and install Linsk:

go install github.com/AlexSSD7/linsk@latest

After that, you should be able to run linsk, or ~/go/bin/linsk if you have not added ~/go/bin to $PATH.

Package managers

TODO.

Prebuilt binaries

You can find prebuilt binaries in Linsk GitHub Releases.

Build from Source

Clone the repository using git and run go build to build the Linsk binary.

git clone https://github.com/AlexSSD7/linsk
cd linsk
go build

After that is done, you will be able to find the linsk binary in the same directory you ran go build in.
