How to Install Goeland on Linux Mint Latest

Goeland is an open-source command-line tool that helps you automate the Docker container lifecycle. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Goeland on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

You must have the following prerequisites before starting the installation process:

• Linux Mint Latest installed on your system
• Docker installed on your system
• Git installed on your system
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Update your System

Before you install any packages, it is always a good idea to update your system to the latest version available. To do this, open up the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install Git

Next, you need to install Git, which is the version control system that Goeland depends on. To install Git, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install git

Step 3: Install Go

Goeland is written in Go, so we need to install the Go programming language on our system. To do this, follow the below steps:

1. Download the binary archive from the official website:

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.17.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

2. Extract the archive to the /usr/local directory:

sudo tar -xzf go1.17.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local

3. Add the Go binaries path to the PATH environment variable:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

4. Add the PATH variable to your ~/.bashrc file so that it persists across sessions:

echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

5. Verify that Go is installed correctly by running the following command:

go version

This command should output the current version of Go installed on your system.

Step 4: Download and Build Goeland

We are now ready to download and build Goeland from its official Github repository. To do this, follow the below steps:

1. Clone the Goeland repository to your system:

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

2. Move into the cloned directory:

cd goeland

3. Build Goeland using the make tool:

make build

This command will build the Goeland binary in the ./bin directory.

Step 5: Test the Goeland Installation

To test the installation, run the following command:

./bin/goeland --version

This should output the current version of Goeland installed on your system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Goeland on your Linux Mint Latest machine. Now you can use it to automate your Docker container lifecycle.
