How to properly install and run cachet-monitor

[apssupport]

Good afternoon,

I've searched and read through the documentation as well as searched online for instructions, but I am not sure if I installed it properly. I did a git clone and git checkout, created a new cachet-monitor.config.json but when trying to run it, I get "cachet-monitor: command not found"

Please advise if you can.

Hi,

You should follow the install instructions

Hello,

Thanks for quick reply. I did follow install instructions. I downloaded binary, create config and tried to run it like it says but I get command not found. I just need help with the actual "installation" if it even needs to be installed.

I see, sorry.

You should either:

1) configure your $PATH to include the folder you downloaded cachet-monitor to 2) move the binary to /usr/bin/cachet-monitor

Then it will be found.

Hope this helps!

Definitely appreciate you helping me out with this (probably something so simple) yet I am not getting it to work. Followed your advice above and it is still saying the same.

Hi ticket #26 helped with installing cachet-monitor. The go get -d github.com/castawaylabs/cachet-monitor was the missing link to getting it installed.

Still getting the command not found error. Below is the output of $PATH

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/go/bin:/go/bin:/go/bin/:/usr/local/go/bin

Cachet-monitor was installed after following ticket #26 and it was automatically placed in its own directory

/go/src/github.com/castawaylabs/cachet-monitor

Created the config /etc/cachet-monitor.config.json and no matter what and how I run it, I get command not found.

Cachet-monitor is not go installable.

Follow this:

1. curl -L <download-link> > /usr/local/bin/cachet-monitor
2. cachet-monitor -c ....

[matejkramny]
