Installation

dflockd is a single Go binary. Build from source or go install.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.23 or newer (go.mod declares go 1.23 and a 1.26.2 toolchain). Earlier releases work for the client, not for the server.

go install

go install github.com/mtingers/dflockd/cmd/dflockd@latest

Drops the dflockd binary into $GOBIN (typically ~/go/bin).

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/mtingers/dflockd
cd dflockd
make build      # → ./dflockd

make build injects the version string from the VERSION make variable; make build VERSION=v2.0.0-rc1 is the typical invocation for a release.

Verify

./dflockd --version
./dflockd --help        # full flag listing

Client library

The Go client is a separate import:

go get github.com/mtingers/dflockd/client

See the Go client docs for the API.

What's not in this binary

• The benchmark tool lives at ./cmd/bench — go run ./cmd/bench --help from a checkout. It's a development utility, not part of the release.
• The complexity reporter is at ./tools/complexity — also a development utility.
