Building and Testing cAdvisor

Note: cAdvisor only builds on Linux since it uses Linux-only APIs.

You should be able to go get cAdvisor as expected (we use -d to only download):

$ go get -d github.com/google/cadvisor

We use godep so you will need to get that as well:

$ go get github.com/tools/godep

At this point you can build cAdvisor from the source folder:

$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/cadvisor $ godep go build .

or run only unit tests:

$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/cadvisor $ godep go test ./... -test.short

For integration tests, see the integration testing page.
