If you have never worked with Go before, you will have to complete the
following steps in order to be able to compile and test Packer.
1. Install Go. Make sure the Go version is at least Go 1.4. Packer will not work with anything less than
Go 1.4. On a Mac, you can `brew install go` to install Go 1.4.
1. [Download](https://golang.org/dl) and install Go. Make sure your Go version
is at least Go 1.5. Packer _may_ work with older versions of Go but these
are not supported.
2. Set and export the `GOPATH` environment variable and update your `PATH`.
For example, you can add to your `.bash_profile`.
2. Set and export the `GOPATH` environment variable and update your `PATH`. For
example, you can add to your `.bash_profile`. If you're using Go 1.5 also
set `GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT`. This is not necessary for Go 1.6 and up.
```
export GOPATH=$HOME/Documents/golang
export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
```
3. Install and build `gox` with
3. Download the Packer source (and its dependencies) by running `go get
github.com/mitchellh/packer`. This will download the Packer source to
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer`.
```
go get github.com/mitchellh/gox
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/gox
go build
```
4. When working on packer `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer` so you
can run make and easily access other files.
4. Download the Packer source (and its dependencies) by running
`go get github.com/mitchellh/packer`. This will download the Packer
source to `$GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer`.
5. Make your changes to the Packer source. You can run `make` in
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer` to run tests and build the packer
binary. Any compilation errors will be shown when the binaries are
rebuilding.
5. Make your changes to the Packer source. You can run `make` from the main
source directory to recompile all the binaries. Any compilation errors
will be shown when the binaries are rebuilding.
6. Test your changes by running `make test` and then running
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer/bin/packer` to build a machine.
6. After running `make` successfully, use
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer/bin/packer` to build a machine and
verify your changes work.
7. If everything works well and the tests pass, run `go fmt` on your code
before submitting a pull request.
