How to Install NSQ on Manjaro

NSQ is an open-source messaging platform built in Go, designed to easily scale horizontally and vertically. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of NSQ on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before installing NSQ, make sure your Manjaro system is up to date using the following command:

$ sudo pacman -Syu

Installing NSQ

Step 1: Install Go

NSQ is developed using the Go programming language, so the first step is to install Go on your system. If you already have Go installed, skip to the next step.

To install Go using pacman, run:

$ sudo pacman -S go

Step 2: Download NSQ

You can download NSQ from the official website (http://nsq.io/) or directly from the GitHub repository (https://github.com/nsqio/nsq/releases/).

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will download the latest stable release from GitHub using the following command:

$ wget https://github.com/nsqio/nsq/releases/download/v1.2.0/nsq-1.2.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract NSQ

After the download has completed, extract the nsq-1.2.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz file using the following command:

$ tar xzf nsq-1.2.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

This will create a new directory called "nsq-1.2.0".

Step 4: Move NSQ to /usr/local/bin

To make NSQ globally accessible, move the extracted files to /usr/local/bin using the following command:

$ sudo mv nsq-1.2.0/bin/* /usr/local/bin/

Step 5: Verify installation

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

$ nsq_version

This command should output the NSQ version installed on your system.
