Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prequisites package:

• Go (Go Programming Language)
• Dep (Go Dependencies Management Tool)
• Make (Automated Execution using Makefile)

Optional package:

• GoReleaser (Go Automated Binaries Build)
• Docker (Application Containerization)

Installing

Below is the instructions to make this codebase running:

• Create a Go Workspace directory and export it as the extended GOPATH directory

cd <your_go_workspace_directory>
export GOPATH=$GOPATH:"`pwd`"

• Under the Go Workspace directory create a source directory

mkdir -p src/github.com/dimaskiddo/go-whatsapp-rest

• Move to the created directory and pull codebase

cd src/github.com/dimaskiddo/go-whatsapp-rest
git clone -b master https://github.com/dimaskiddo/go-whatsapp-rest.git .

• Run following command to pull dependecies package

make vendor

• Until this step you already can run this code by using this command

make run
