mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/carousell/
git clone [email protected]:carousell/Orion.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/carousell/Orion
You need the following tools to better develop for go
go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint
now you can build the package by using make build
gRPC
for gRPC, you need to follow the following steps
get gRPC codebase
go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
install protobuf
brew install protobuf
install the protoc plugin for go
go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}
install the protoc plugin for orion
go get -u github.com/carousell/Orion/protoc-gen-orion
