How to Install GolangCI on Fedora CoreOS

GolangCI is a popular code analysis tool for the Go programming language. It can help you detect and fix issues in your codebase, making your software more reliable and efficient.

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install GolangCI on Fedora CoreOS, which is a minimal operating system designed for running containerized workloads.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed with the installation, you should have the following:

Step 1 - Install Golang

The first step is to install Golang on your Fedora CoreOS instance. Golang is required to run GolangCI, and it's not included in the default installation of Fedora CoreOS.

To install Golang, run the following commands:

sudo dnf install -y golang

This will install the latest version of Golang available in the Fedora CoreOS repositories.

Step 2 - Download GolangCI

Next, download the GolangCI binary from the official website using the following command:

wget https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/download/v1.40.1/golangci-lint-1.40.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Note that the above command downloads version 1.40.1 of GolangCI. You can find the latest version on the official website.

Step 3 - Extract and Install GolangCI

After downloading the GolangCI binary, extract it and move it to the /usr/local/bin directory using the following commands:

tar -xzvf golangci-lint-1.40.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv golangci-lint-1.40.1-linux-amd64/golangci-lint /usr/local/bin/
rm -rf golangci-lint-1.40.1-linux-amd64*

This will install GolangCI to the /usr/local/bin directory, which is included in the system's PATH environment variable.

Step 4 - Verify the Installation

To verify that GolangCI is installed correctly, run the following command:

golangci-lint version

This should output the version of GolangCI you just installed.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install GolangCI on Fedora CoreOS. With GolangCI installed, you can start analyzing your codebase and improving the quality and reliability of your software.
