Building from Source

Building radar from source requires Git and Go 1.26.10 or later. The Go installation guide describes how to install a current Go release on any platform.

Use the following steps to build radar from source:

  1. Confirm that go version reports Go 1.26.10 or later:

    go version

  2. Clone the pgEdge radar repository and change into its directory:

    git clone https://github.com/pgEdge/radar.git
cd radar

  3. Build a static binary for your platform:

    CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o radar .

  4. Optionally, move the binary into a directory on your PATH:

    sudo mv radar /usr/local/bin/

The CONTRIBUTING.md file describes cross-compilation and the development setup.
