GolangCI is an open-source tool that provides static code analysis, code linting, formatting, and security checks for Golang applications. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install GolangCI on the latest version of NixOS.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have:
The first step is to update the NixOS packages to the latest version. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nix-env -u
Next, we need to install Golang. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.goPackages.go
Now, we can install GolangCI by running the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.golangci-lint
This will install the latest version of GolangCI on your system.
To verify that GolangCI is installed properly, run the following command:
golangci-lint --version
This should display the version number of GolangCI that you just installed.
You now have successfully installed GolangCI on NixOS Latest. You can use GolangCI to analyze, lint, format, and perform security checks on your Golang code.
