Caught some typos. Made units separate from the numbers 1GHz -> 1 GHz after talking to Nick about questions of style (this has the side effect of making future spell checking easier).

# Installing Nomad
|
|
|
|
Installing Nomad is simple. There are two approaches to installing Nomad:
|
|
|
|
1. Using a <a href="#precompiled-binaries">precompiled binary</a>
|
|
1. Installing <a href="#from-source">from source</a>
|
|
|
|
Downloading a precompiled binary is easiest, and we provide downloads over
|
|
TLS along with SHA-256 sums to verify the binary.

|
## Precompiled Binaries
|
|
|
|
To install the precompiled binary,
|
|
[download](/downloads.html) the appropriate package for your system.
|
|
Nomad is currently packaged as a zip file. We do not have any near term
|
|
plans to provide system packages.
|
|
|
|
Once the zip is downloaded, unzip it into any directory. The
|
|
`nomad` (or `nomad.exe` for Windows) binary inside is all that is
|
|
necessary to run Nomad. Any additional files, if any, are not
|
|
required to run Nomad.
|
|
|
|
Copy the binary to anywhere on your system. If you intend to access it
|
|
from the command-line, make sure to place it somewhere on your `PATH`.
|
|
|

|
|
## Compiling from Source
|
|
|
|
To compile from source, you will need [Go](https://golang.org) installed and
|
|
configured properly (including a `GOPATH` environment variable set), as well
|
|
as a copy of [`git`](https://www.git-scm.com/) in your `PATH`.
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the Nomad repository from GitHub into your `GOPATH`:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp && cd $_
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad.git
|
|
$ cd nomad
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Bootstrap the project. This will download and compile libraries and tools
|
|
needed to compile Nomad:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ make bootstrap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Build Nomad for your current system and put the
|
|
binary in `./bin/` (relative to the git checkout). The `make dev` target is
|
|
just a shortcut that builds `nomad` for only your local build environment (no
|
|
cross-compiled targets).
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ make dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verifying the Installation
|
|
|
|
To verify Nomad is properly installed, run `nomad -v` on your system. You should
|
|
see help output. If you are executing it from the command line, make sure it is
|
|
on your `PATH` or you may get an error about `nomad` not being found.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ nomad -v
|
|
```
