Installation Process

...

From a completely empty machine, let's start with the installation of golang. I will be using a debian machine.

Install the necessary tools.

apt update
apt install -y git wget
Copy

Download the latest version of the language from the official website^[1].

wget https://go.dev/dl/go(latest).linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvf https://go.dev/dl/go(latest).linux-amd64.tar.gz
mv go/ ~
ln -s ~/go/bin/go /usr/bin/
Copy

Testing.

root@venera:~# go version
go version go1.21.2 linux/amd64
Copy

git clone https://github.com/farinap5/Venera.git
cd Venera
Copy

After the first go run execution it will start the installation of all needed dependencies.

root@venera:~/Venera# go run venera
go: downloading github.com/c-bata/go-prompt v0.2.6
go: downloading github.com/yuin/gopher-lua v1.0.0
go: downloading github.com/cheynewallace/tabby v1.1.1
go: downloading github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.14.3
go: downloading gopkg.in/yaml.v2 v2.3.0
...
Copy

After installing all dependencies the tool will try to run, at this point some errors may occur as the tool will try to configure the default environment.

If you notice some error envolving go-sqlite3 install build essentials package of your distro.

A folder was created in the user's home (~/.venera), where the settings, database, logs and the default location for keeping the scripts are located.

root@venera:~/Venera# go run .
