GolangCI is a code analyzer for Go that offers a number of useful tools for improving your code quality. Here's how to install GolangCI on a Manjaro system.

Prerequisites

Before installing GolangCI, you'll need to have Go installed on your system. If you don't have it already, you can install it by running the following command:

Installing GolangCI

Here are the steps to install GolangCI on your Manjaro system:

  1. First, make sure that your system has the necessary dependencies installed. You can install them by running the following command:

    sudo pacman -S unzip
    
  2. Next, download the latest release of GolangCI by running the following command:

    wget https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/latest/download/golangci-lint-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m).tar.gz
    
  3. Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the archive by running the following command:

    tar -xzvf golangci-lint-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m).tar.gz
    
  4. Move the golangci-lint binary file to a directory in the system's $PATH. This allows you to run GolangCI from anywhere in the system. Here's an example command to move the file to the /usr/local/bin directory:

    sudo mv golangci-lint /usr/local/bin/
    
  5. Verify the installation by running the following command:

    golangci-lint --version
    

    If the version number is displayed, then GolangCI has been successfully installed on your Manjaro system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed GolangCI on your Manjaro system! Now you can use it to analyze your Go code and improve its quality.
