Environment

This section covers setting up a build environment for dcvix components from source.

Build Requirements by Component

Component	Go	Other requirements
Director	1.22+	Node.js 22+, npm 10+, SQLite3, libpam-dev
Agent	1.23+	None
Launcher	1.26+	gcc, libgl1-mesa-dev, xorg-dev (Linux), or fyne-cross (cross-build)

Installing Go

Linux

# Download the latest Go (check https://go.dev/dl/ for current version)
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.26.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.26.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

Windows

Download the MSI installer from https://go.dev/dl/ and run it. Go is installed to C:\Program Files\Go by default, and the installer adds it to your PATH.

Installing System Dependencies

Linux (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y \
    gcc \
    make \
    libgl1-mesa-dev \
    xorg-dev \
    libpam-dev \
    npm

Linux (Rocky Linux / RHEL)

sudo dnf install -y \
    gcc \
    make \
    mesa-libGL-devel \
    libxkbcommon-devel \
    wayland-devel \
    libXcursor-devel \
    libXi-devel \
    libXinerama-devel \
    libXrandr-devel \
    libXxf86vm-devel \
    pam-devel \
    npm

Windows

Install gcc via MinGW-w64 or TDM-GCC. The NSIS installer builder requires NSIS.

Verifying the Setup

go version
make --version
gcc --version
node --version
npm --version

Next Steps

See Building Director, Building Agent, or Building Launcher for per-component build instructions.
