Building From Source

Pre-requisites

• golang (version 1.7+ is required)
• dep (dependency manager)

Compiling

NSQ uses dep to manage dependencies and produce reliable builds. Using dep is the preferred method when compiling from source.

$ git clone https://github.com/nsqio/nsq $GOPATH/src/github.com/nsqio/nsq
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/nsqio/nsq
$ dep ensure

NSQ remains go get compatible but it is not recommended as it is not guaranteed to produce reliable builds (pinned dependencies need to be satisfied manually).

Testing

$ ./test.sh
