# Building and Testing cAdvisor
|
|
|
|
**Note**: cAdvisor only builds on Linux since it uses Linux-only APIs.
|
|
|
|
## Installing Dependencies
|
|
|
|
cAdvisor is written in the [Go](http://golang.org) programming language. If you haven't set up a Go development environment, please follow [these instructions](http://golang.org/doc/code.html) to install go tool and set up GOPATH. Note that the version of Go in package repositories of some operating systems is outdated, so please [download](https://golang.org/dl/) the latest version.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: cAdvisor requires Go 1.6 to build.
|
|
|
|
After setting up Go, you should be able to `go get` cAdvisor as expected (we use `-d` to only download):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go get -d github.com/google/cadvisor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building from Source
|
|
|
|
At this point you can build cAdvisor from the source folder:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/cadvisor $ make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or run only unit tests:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/cadvisor $ make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For integration tests, see the [integration testing](integration_testing.md) page.
|
|
|
|
## Running Built Binary
|
|
|
|
Now you can run the built binary:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/cadvisor $ sudo ./cadvisor
|
|
```
|
