NATS Server Installation
NATS philosophy is simplicity. Installation is just decompression a zip file and copying the binary to an appropiate directory; you can also use your favorite package manager.
Installing via a Package Manager
On Windows:
> choco install nats-server
On Mac OS:
> brew install nats-server
Via Docker:
> docker pull nats-server:latest
Installing directly Release Build
You can find the latest release of nats-server here.
Simply download the zip file matching your systems architecture, and unzip. For this example, assuming version 2.0.0 of the server, and a Linux AMD64:
> curl -L https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/releases/download/v2.0.0/nats-server-v2.0.0-linux-amd64.zip -o nats-server.zip
> unzip nats-server.zip -d nats-server
Archive: nats-server.zip
creating: nats-server-v2.0.0-darwin-amd64/
inflating: nats-server-v2.0.0-darwin-amd64/README.md
inflating: nats-server-v2.0.0-darwin-amd64/LICENSE
inflating: nats-server-v2.0.0darwin-amd64/nats-server
> cp nats-server-v2.0.0darwin-amd64/nats-server /usr/local/bin
Installing from the source
If you have go installed, installing the binary is very easy:
> go get github.com/nats-io/nats-server
This mechanism will always install the latest build on master, which almost certainly will not be a released version. If you are a developer and want to play with the the latest, this is the easiest way of obtaining it.
Testing Your Installation
To test your installation (provided the install locations are visible by your shell):
