»Installing Nomad
Nomad is available as a pre-compiled binary or as a package for several operating systems. You can also build Nomad from source.
If you are interested in trialing Nomad without installing it locally, see the Quickstart for options to get started with Nomad.
You can download a precompiled binary and
run it on your machine locally. You can also verify the binary using the
available SHA-256 sums. After downloading Nomad, unzip the package. Make sure
that the nomad binary is available on your PATH before continuing with the
other guides.
You can check the locations available on your path by running this command.
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
The output is a list of locations separated by colons. You can make Nomad
available by moving the binary to one of the listed locations, or by adding
Nomad's location to your PATH.
Tip (Linux-based or Mac): Permanently add a new location to your path by
editing your shell's settings file (usually called something like ~/.bashrc,
where the part of the file name after the . and before rc is the name of
your shell). In that file you will see a line that starts with export PATH=,
followed by a colon-separated list of locations. Add the location of the Consul
binary to that list and save the file. Then reload your shell's configuration
with the command source ~/.bashrc, replacing bash with the name of your
shell.
Tip (Windows): Add a location to your path via the GUI by navigating to
Environment Variables in your system settings, and looking for the variable
called PATH. You will see a semicolon-separated list of locations. Add the
Nomad binary's location to that list and then launch a new console window.
»Verify the Installation
To verify Nomad was installed correctly, try the nomad command.
$ nomad
You should see help output, similar to the following.
Usage: nomad [-version] [-help] [-autocomplete-(un)install] <command> [args]

»Compiling from Source
To compile from source, you will need Go installed and
configured properly (including a GOPATH environment variable set), as well
as a copy of git in your PATH.
Clone the Nomad repository from GitHub into your
GOPATH:$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp && cd $_ $ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad.git $ cd nomadBootstrap the project. This will download and compile libraries and tools needed to compile Nomad:
$ make bootstrapBuild Nomad for your current system and put the binary in
./bin/(relative to the git checkout). Themake devtarget is just a shortcut that buildsnomadfor only your local build environment (no cross-compiled targets).$ make dev
