Building rqlite

Building rqlite requires Go 1.4 or later. gvm is a great tool for managing your version of Go.

Download and run rqlite like so (tested on 64-bit Kubuntu 14.04 and OSX):

mkdir rqlite # Or any directory of your choice.
cd rqlite/
export GOPATH=$PWD
go get -t github.com/otoolep/rqlite/...
$GOPATH/bin/rqlited ~/node.1

This starts a rqlite server listening on localhost, port 4001. This single node automatically becomes the leader.

Cloning a fork

If you wish to work with fork of rqlite, your own fork for example, you must still follow the directory structure above. But instead of cloning the main repo, instead clone your fork. You must fork the project if you want to contribute upstream.

Follow the steps below to work with a fork:

    export GOPATH=$HOME/rqlite
    mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/otoolep
    cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/otoolep
    git clone git@github.com:<your Github username>/rqlite

Retaining the directory structure $GOPATH/src/github.com/otoolep is necessary so that Go imports work correctly.
