How to Install Goeland on Debian Latest

Introduction

Goeland is a simple web application for monitoring network devices and services that runs on the Linux operating system. It was developed by slurdge and is released under the GPLv3 License.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Goeland on Debian Latest. The installation process involves the following steps:

  1. Update the package repository
  2. Install required tools and dependencies
  3. Clone the Goeland source code from GitHub
  4. Build and install Goeland

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you should have:

Step 1: Update the Package Repository

First, update the package repository to ensure that you have the latest version of all packages.

To do this, open the command prompt and type:

sudo apt update

Once the update is complete, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Install Required Tools and Dependencies

Before we can build and install Goeland, we need to install some essential tools and dependencies.

Type the following commands to install the required packages:

sudo apt install git golang-go build-essential

The git package is a version control system that we will use to download the Goeland source code from GitHub. The golang-go package is the Go programming language compiler and tools, and build-essential is a collection of commonly used tools that are required to build and compile software from source code.

Step 3: Clone the Goeland Source Code from GitHub

With the dependencies installed, we can now clone the Goeland source code from GitHub using the git command:

git clone https://github.com/slurdge/goeland.git

This command will create a new directory called "goeland" in your current working directory and download the Goeland source code into this directory.

Step 4: Build and Install Goeland

With the source code downloaded, we can build and install Goeland.

First, navigate to the "goeland" directory with the following command:

cd goeland

Then, build the Goeland binary using the following command:

go build -o goeland ./cmd/goeland

This command will create a binary file called "goeland" in the current directory.

Finally, install Goeland with the following command:

sudo mv goeland /usr/local/bin/

This command will move the Goeland binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory, making it available for use system-wide.

Step 5: Verify the Installation

To verify that Goeland was installed successfully, type the following command:

goeland --help

This command should display the Goeland help menu, indicating that the installation was successful.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Goeland on Debian Latest. We walked you through the steps of updating the package repository, installing required tools and dependencies, cloning the Goeland source code from GitHub, building and installing Goeland, and verifying the installation.

Now that Goeland is installed, you can use it to monitor your network devices and services.
