Managing Dependencies

Build Dependencies

The following dependencies must be installed on your system before you can build the installer.

Fedora, CentOS, RHEL

sudo dnf install golang-bin gcc-c++ zip

If you need support for libvirt destroy, you should also install libvirt-devel.

Go

We follow a hard flattening approach; i.e. direct and inherited dependencies are installed in the base vendor/.

Dependencies are managed with Go Modules but committed directly to the repository.

We require at least Go 1.22.

  • Add or update a dependency with go get <dependency>@<version>.
  • If you want to use a fork of a project or ensure that a dependency is not updated even when another dependency requires a newer version of it, manually add a replace directive in the go.mod file.
  • Run go mod tidy to tidy go.mod and update go.sum, then commit the changes.
  • Run go mod vendor to re-vendor and then commit updated vendored code separately.

This guide is a great source to learn more about using go mod.

For the sake of your fellow reviewers, commit vendored code separately from any other changes.
