mv ./gate ~/.local/bin/gate

Windows in PowerShell

curl.exe -Lo gate.exe https://github.com/minekube/gate/releases/download/undefined/gate_undefined_windows_amd64
Move-Item .\gate.exe c:\some-dir-in-your-PATH\gate.exe

Note: If you do not have root access on the target system, you can still install gate to the ~/.local/bin directory:

chmod +x gate
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv ./gate ~/.local/bin/gate
# and then append (or prepend) ~/.local/bin to $PATH

You can now open your terminal show Gate help by running:

$ gate -h

Method 2 - Install using Go

Since Gate is a Go module you can easily install the latest release. To run the following command ensure you have Go, and Git installed.

$ go install go.minekube.com/gate@latest

After this step you can run Gate easily from anywhere in your terminal:

$ gate -h

Method 3 - Run Gate directly from the Internet

Using Go you could even run Gate without the installation command. Internally Go downloads and caches the module, builds and caches it and finally runs it, all at once.

$ go run go.minekube.com/gate@latest

Thanks to local caching running this command a second time would start Gate even quicker.
