There are two approaches to installing Nomad: 11 12 1. Using a [precompiled binary](#precompiled-binaries) 13 1. Installing [from source](#from-source) 14 15 Downloading a precompiled binary is easiest, and we provide downloads over 16 TLS along with SHA-256 sums to verify the binary. 17 18 ## Precompiled Binaries ((#precompiled-binaries)) 19 20 To install the precompiled binary, 21 [download](/downloads) the appropriate package for your system. 22 Nomad is currently packaged as a zip file. We do not have any near term 23 plans to provide system packages. 24 25 Once the zip is downloaded, unzip it into any directory. The 26 `nomad` (or `nomad.exe` for Windows) binary inside is all that is 27 necessary to run Nomad. Any additional files, if any, are not 28 required to run Nomad. 29 30 Copy the binary to anywhere on your system. If you intend to access it 31 from the command-line, make sure to place it somewhere on your `PATH`. 32 33 ## Compiling from Source ((#from-source)) 34 35 To compile from source, you will need [Go](https://golang.org) installed and 36 configured properly (including a `GOPATH` environment variable set), as well 37 as a copy of [`git`](https://www.git-scm.com/) in your `PATH`. 38 39 1. Clone the Nomad repository from GitHub into your `GOPATH`: 40 41 ```shell 42 $ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp && cd $_ 43 $ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad.git 44 $ cd nomad 45 ``` 46 47 1. Bootstrap the project. This will download and compile libraries and tools 48 needed to compile Nomad: 49 50 ```shell 51 $ make bootstrap 52 ``` 53 54 1. Build Nomad for your current system and put the 55 binary in `./bin/` (relative to the git checkout). The `make dev` target is 56 just a shortcut that builds `nomad` for only your local build environment (no 57 cross-compiled targets). 58 59 ```shell 60 $ make dev 61 ``` 62 63 ## Verifying the Installation 64 65 To verify Nomad is properly installed, run `nomad -v` on your system. You should 66 see help output. If you are executing it from the command line, make sure it is 67 on your `PATH` or you may get an error about `nomad` not being found. 68 69 ```shell-sessionnomad -v 70 71 ```
