Installation¶

You can install the pre-compiled binary (in several different ways), use Docker or compile from source.

Installation pre-built binaries¶

Homebrew tap

$ brew install buildtool/taps/build-tools

Shell script

$ curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildtool/build-tools/main/install.sh | sh

Manually

Download the pre-compiled binaries from the releases page and copy to the desired location.

Running with Docker¶

You can also use it within a Docker container. To do that, you’ll need to execute something more-or-less like the following:

$ docker run --rm --privileged \
  -v $PWD:/repo \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -w /repo \
  -e DOCKER_USERNAME \
  -e DOCKER_PASSWORD \
  buildtool/build-tools build

cd build-tools

Get the dependencies:

go get ./...

Build:

go build  ./cmd/build/build.go

Verify it works:

./build --version
