I want to be able to run the application from the repository https://github.com/jbowens/codenames locally on my machine. Is it possible?
Steps I've tried:
I really don't know anything about Go so maybe I just have to run another command or install dependencies or whatever. If someone could figure this out I would be super happy! This is an awesome game I would like to play from my machine.
I'm guessing you are just typing go build
from the cmd/codenames
directory, creating a binary called 'codenames' in that directory and running from there.
Unfortunately the app is hard-coded to look for its assets in a ./assets/ directory relative to the binary.
So you want your binary in the root of the app:
i.e
cmd/codenames
directory go build -o ../../run-me-from-here
then from the root of the app ./run-me-from-here
.
Set gopath and goroot then install dependencies.
Running them locally is very easy in go
I usually run go get while in my local go directory.
