Welcome to the drive wiki!

System pre-requisites for Drive:

• An installation of Go with version >= 1.3

  To check your go version:

  $> go version

• Your gopath should have been set in your e.g

  Sample set up:

  vi ~/.bashrc or vi ~/.bash_profile

  export GOPATH=~/gopath

  export PATH=$GOPATH:$GOPATH/bin:${PATH}

Installing drive, the program:

$> go get -u github.com/odeke-em/drive/drive-gen && drive-gen

Env variables:

To manage the number of concurrent pulls/pushes in your env make sure to set variable DRIVE_GOMAXPROCS e.g:

$ cat << ! >> ~/.bashrc
> export DRIVE_GOMAXPROCS=8
> !
$ source ~/.bashrc

Linux Terminal Character Encoding:

If the spinner under Resolving... displays diamonds with question marks in them, your linux terminal is not displaying UTF-8 characters. Fix by editing /etc/environment and define LANG. For example, in the United States, here is what /etc/environment would look like after editing it:

#
# This file is parsed by pam_env module
#
# Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines
#
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

After a reboot, your linux terminals will display all the characters instead of putting diamonds with question marks on the screen.
