Installation

Homebrew

Currently, homebrew is one of the easier installation paths for the CLI.

brew tap mergestat/mergestat
brew install mergestat

Pre-Built Binaries

The latest releases should have pre-built binaries for Mac and Linux. You can download and add the mergestat binary somewhere on your $PATH to use. libmergestat.so is also available to be loaded as a SQLite run-time extension.

Go

libgit2 is a build dependency (used via git2go) and must be available on your system for linking.

The following (long 😬) go install commands can be used to install a binary via the go toolchain.

On Mac:

CGO_CFLAGS=-DUSE_LIBSQLITE3 CGO_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup go install -tags="sqlite_vtable,vtable,sqlite_json1,static,system_libgit2" github.com/mergestat/mergestat@latest

On Linux:

CGO_CFLAGS=-DUSE_LIBSQLITE3 CGO_LDFLAGS=-Wl,--unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-object-files go install -tags="sqlite_vtable,vtable,sqlite_json1,static,system_libgit2" github.com/mergestat/mergestat@latest

See the Makefile for more context. Checking out this repository and running make in the root will produce two files in the .build directory:

1. mergestat - the CLI binary (which can then be moved into your $PATH for use)
2. libmergestat.so - a shared object file SQLite extension that can be used by SQLite directly
