* Update source installation requirements We require Golang 1.8 since we use `net/url.PathEscape` which was not introduced until then * Use Golang 1.8 for build and test If we state Golang 1.8 we should test using that version as well * Use golang 1.8 only for single build to see if everything compiles * Change back edge also for commented out sqlite test

# Installation from source
|
|
|
|
This section will not include basic [installation instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install).
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Go version 1.8 or higher is required
|
|
|
|
## Download
|
|
|
|
First retrieve the source code. The easiest way is to use the Go tool. Use the following
|
|
commands to fetch the source and switch into the source directory.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get -d -u code.gitea.io/gitea
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/code.gitea.io/gitea
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Decide which version of Gitea to build and install. Currently, there are multiple options
|
|
to choose from. The `master` branch represents the current development version. To build
|
|
with master, skip to the [build section](#build).
|
|
|
|
To work with tagged releases, the following commands can be used:
|
|
```
|
|
git branch -a
|
|
git checkout v1.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To validate a Pull Request, first enable the new branch (`xyz` is the PR id; for example
|
|
`2663` for [#2663](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/2663)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git fetch origin pull/xyz/head:pr-xyz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build Gitea from source at a specific tagged release (like v1.0.0), list the available
|
|
tags and check out the specific tag.
|
|
|
|
List available tags with the following.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git tag -l
|
|
git checkout v1.0.0 # or git checkout pr-xyz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Since all required libraries are already bundled in the Gitea source, it's
|
|
possible to build Gitea with no additional downloads. Various
|
|
[make tasks](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/Makefile) are
|
|
provided to keep the build process as simple as possible.
|
|
<a href='{{< relref "doc/advanced/make.en-us.md" >}}'>See here how to get Make</a>.
|
|
Depending on requirements, the following build tags can be included.
|
|
|
|
* `bindata`: Build a single monolithic binary, with all assets included.
|
|
* `sqlite`: Enable support for a [SQLite3](https://sqlite.org/) database. Suggested only
|
|
for tiny installations.
|
|
* `tidb`: Enable support for a [TiDB](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb) database.
|
|
* `pam`: Enable support for PAM (Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules). Can be used to
|
|
authenticate local users or extend authentication to methods available to PAM.
|
|
|
|
Bundling assets into the binary using the `bindata` build tag can make development and
|
|
testing easier, but is not ideal for a production deployment. To include assets, they
|
|
must be built separately using the `generate` make task.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
TAGS="bindata" make generate build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Test
|
|
|
|
After following the steps above a `gitea` binary will be available in the working directory.
|
|
It can be tested from this directory or moved to a directory with test data. When Gitea is
|
|
launched manually from command line, it can be killed by pressing `Ctrl + C`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./gitea web
|
|
```
