# Installation :package:

Make sure to do `gowall -v` and compare it against the release page version,
since the [docs](https://achno.github.io/gowall-docs/installation) only show the commands/flags and capabilities of the latest released version.

### Grab the binary from the release section (Stable Release) 🢀 **Prefered Method**

- If the installation options do not cover your package manager of your distro/OS
- If gowall in your package manager is not up to date as per the [release section's latest version](https://github.com/Achno/gowall/releases)
- If you don't know how to install gowall and don't want to build the project.

Head over to the [release](https://github.com/Achno/gowall/releases) section

Choose the latest version of gowall. You should see a `.tar.gz` for your operating system and architecture. Simply Extract the binary inside named `gowall` and place it inside your `$PATH`

```sh
sudo cp gowall /usr/local/bin/
```

### MacOS (Homebrew) - currently on v0.2.0

```sh
brew install gowall
```

Thank you to `chenrui333`. You can find the [ruby formula](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/b86ea8e19ae7bf087fab8e2d56cd623eec1e1cf9/Formula/g/gowall.rb) there.

### Arch linux - AUR

```sh
yay -S gowall
```
### Fedora - COPR

```sh
sudo dnf copr enable achno/gowall
sudo dnf install gowall
```

### NixOS - ( Maintainer : [Emily Trau](https://github.com/emilytrau))

```yaml
  environment.systemPackages = [
    pkgs.gowall
  ];
```

More installation options : [here](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=24.05&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=gowall)

### Void Linux - ( Maintainer : [elbachir-one](https://github.com/elbachir-one/))

```sh
sudo xbps-install -S gowall
```

### Build from source (Cutting Edge)

If you are a normal user, consider using using the method above for a stable gowall release.

> If you want to contribute to the project
> 
> Or have all the latest features that have not been released yet then

🔨 Clone the repo, build the project and move it inside your `$PATH`

```sh
git clone https://github.com/Achno/gowall
cd gowall
go build
sudo cp gowall /usr/local/bin/
gowall
```

If this threw any errors while building simply follow the solution below.

#### Windows (Or any OS if git cloning and go build did not work)

For Windows we need to install `zig` & `go` to build it. I advise you to use a package manager like [scoop](https://scoop.sh/) to install it. Obviously you can just go the zig website and download the installer, it doesn't really matter, the zig binary needs to be in your `$PATH`.

```bash
scoop install main/zig # or just go to the website and download zig if you don't want to use a package manager
```

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Achno/gowall
cd gowall

export CGO_ENABLED=1 # if you are using powershell : $env:CGO_ENABLED=1
export CC="zig cc" # if you are using powershell : $env:CC="zig cc"
export CXX="zig c++" # if you are using powershell : $env:CXX="zig c++"

go clean -cache 
go build -v

# then simply add the binary to your PATH
```

I would also be very happy if you can provide the `rgb values` of your theme as well :) but not required if it's popular

Feel free to suggest any cool features that would improve gowall even further by opening an `issue`
