How to compile the Prometheus UI static binary for Windows?
To compile the Prometheus UI static binary for Windows, you'll need to set up a Go development environment and follow these steps:
Install Go: Download and install the Go programming language from the official website (https://golang.org/dl/). Choose the Windows installer appropriate for your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) and run it to install Go.
Set up environment variables: After installing Go, set up the necessary environment variables. Add the Go binary directory (
C:\Go\bin
by default) to the system'sPATH
environment variable.Clone the Prometheus repository: Open a command prompt and navigate to the desired directory where you want to clone the Prometheus repository. Execute the following command to clone the repository:
bashgit clone https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus.git
Build the UI: Change to the
prometheus/web
directory within the cloned Prometheus repository using the command:bashcd prometheus/web
Build the UI static binary: Execute the following command to compile the Prometheus UI static binary:
gogo run build.go build
This command will compile the UI static binary and generate the
prometheus.exe
file in the current directory.
After the build process completes successfully, you will have the Prometheus UI static binary (prometheus.exe
) ready for use on Windows. You can run it by executing prometheus.exe
from the command prompt.
Please note that the above steps assume you have Git installed on your system and have network connectivity to clone the Prometheus repository. Adjust the commands and paths as needed based on your specific setup.
