Build from repo

In most cases, people install LogAnalyzer either via a package or use an "official" distribution tarball to generate it. But there may be situations where it is desirable to install directly from the source repository. This is useful for people who would like to participate in development or who would like to use the latest, not-yet-released code. The later may especially be the case if you are asked to try out an experimental version.

Installing from the repsitory is not much different than building from the source tarball, except that you need to know how to obtain things.

Obtaining the Source

Clone the official repository from GitHub (replaces the historical Adiscon git URLs):

• git clone https://github.com/rsyslog/loganalyzer.git
• Browse: https://github.com/rsyslog/loganalyzer

After cloning, check out the branch you need (e.g. master or a release tag). Development workflows may use feature branches as described in the repository documentation.

Actual Install Process

The actual installation does not differ from a version obtained via a tarball. Please see the LogAnalyzer install guide for details on how to do that.
