Install

Instructions for installing Easegress from pre-built binaries or from source.

The easiest way to install Easegress is by using pre-built binaries:

Download the appropriate compressed archive file for your platform from Releases.
Extract the contents of the archive, which will create a directory containing the binaries.
Add the extracted binaries to your system’s path. You can either move and/or rename the binaries to a directory already in your path (such as /usr/local/bin), or add the newly created directory to your path.

From a shell, test that Easegress is in your path:

$ easegress-server --version
Easegress v2.6.1

Either download the Easegress repo as a ZIP file from here, or clone the repo with the following command:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/megaease/easegress.git
```
Navigate to the Easegress directory:
```
$ cd easegress
```
Execute the build script to generate the binaries, which will be placed in the bin directory:
```
$ make
```
Add the bin directory to your system’s path:
```
$ export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/bin" 
```
Verify that easegress-server has been successfully added to your path:
```
$ easegress-server --version
```

Note:
This repo requires Go 1.20+ compiler for the build.
If you need the WebAssembly feature, please run make wasm.

To install the Systemd service, execute the following command:

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/megaease/easegress/main/scripts/install.sh)"
