On Unix-like systems (e.g. Darwin, Linux, Windows with the Linux subsystem enabled) building dataset and datasetd is generally as easy as running the GNU Make command. On Windows without the Linux subsystem you need to take a more Window-ish approach and run make.bat.
- Install Go 1.24.5 via the Windows' installer available from https://golang.org/downloads
- Install CMTools v0.0.35 or better via the Windows' installer available from https://caltechlibrary.github.io/CMTools/installer.ps1
- Install git
- Run
go get -u github.com\caltechlibrary\dataset - Change into the dataset directory
- Run the
build.ps1
Here's an example of what I've done after opening a command window
cd %USERPROFILE%
mkdir go
mkdir go\bin
mkdir go\src
go get -u github.com\caltechlibrary\dataset
cd go\src\caltechlibrary\dataset
.\build.ps1
move bin\dataset.exe "%USERPROFILE\go\bin\dataset.exe"
The dataset command line exe will likely need to be copied to where your windows command line applications at located.
