How to install Go programming application from a downloaded source code-CodePudding

It has been few hours now without any success.... I am trying to install an application "Siegfried". I have a Redhat server without any internet access why I cannot run wget or brew or anything like as

wget -qO - https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/siegfried/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install siegfried

I downloaded the source code from

https://github.com/richardlehane/siegfried

I thought I could build and install... easy as pie.

I realized according to instructions in this page, I need Go programming compiler

https://github.com/richardlehane/siegfried/wiki/Getting-started

I downloaded Go and fixed the $PATH and Go is working. Now what? I have downloaded the source, I have Go, and now I need to, I guess build, or install or... first build then install. I am going nuts here. How do i proceed? Many thanks for any advices.

ADDING: Now I have settings i .profile which gives me following:

[madde@m101010 etc]$ echo $PATH
/opt/apache-maven-3.6.3/bin:/opt/apache-maven-3.6.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/arkiv/bin:/opt/pupal/go/bin:/usr/local/arkiv/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java/bin:/usr/local/tomcat9:/usr/local/go/bin:/bin:/home/madde/go/bin
[madde@m101010 etc]$ echo $GOPATH
/home/madde/go
[madde@m101010 etc]$ go version
go version go1.18.2 linux/amd64

Still get:

[madde@m101010 siegfried-main]$ go install ./cmd/sf

CodePudding user response：

I believe you're looking for the go install command.

go install [build flags] [packages]

I followed these steps, and it installed just fine:

git clone https://github.com/richardlehane/siegfried.git
cd siegfried
go install ./cmd/sf
go install ./cmd/roy

➜ which sf
/Users/h4s/projects/go/bin/sf

➜ which roy
/Users/h4s/projects/go/bin/roy

using git clone (your link for repo/package you want) but you must check in your or move to folder $GOPATH
