Installing from source

Install or update from current source master:

dir=$(mktemp -d) 
git clone https://github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger "$dir" 
cd "$dir"
go install ./cmd/swagger

To install a specific version from source an appropriate tag needs to be checked out first (e.g. v0.25.0). Additional -ldflags are just to make swagger version command print the version and commit id instead of dev.

dir=$(mktemp -d)
git clone https://github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger "$dir" 
cd "$dir"
git checkout v0.25.0
go install -ldflags "-X github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/cmd/swagger/commands.Version=$(git describe --tags) -X github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/cmd/swagger/commands.Commit=$(git rev-parse HEAD)" ./cmd/swagger

You are welcome to clone this repo and start contributing:
