How to Install GolangCI on NetBSD

GolangCI is a powerful and fast linter for Go that can outperform other popular tools like Gometalinter or Sonarlint. In this tutorial, we will explain the step-by-step process to install GolangCI on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Go

If you haven't installed Go on your NetBSD system yet, you can easily do so by running the following command:

pkgin install go

Step 2: Download the GolangCI package

You can download the latest version of the GolangCI package from its website https://golangci.com/. In this tutorial, we will be using version 1.42.0. To download the package, run the following command:

wget https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/download/v1.42.0/golangci-lint-1.42.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract the GolangCI package

Now that you have downloaded the GolangCI package, you need to extract its contents. Use the following command to extract the package:

tar xvf golangci-lint-1.42.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

This will create a directory called golangci-lint-1.42.0-linux-amd64.

Step 4: Move the GolangCI executable to /usr/local/bin

Now that you have extracted the GolangCI package, you need to move its executable file to the /usr/local/bin directory. Use the following command to move the file:

sudo mv golangci-lint-1.42.0-linux-amd64/golangci-lint /usr/local/bin/

Step 5: Verify the installation

To verify that the installation was successful, you can run the following command:

golangci-lint --version

This will display the version of GolangCI that you have installed on your system.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed GolangCI on your NetBSD system. You can now use this powerful linter to ensure the quality of your Go code.
