Install jobber on CentOS 6.*

All the commands below are executed using root user

1. Install go and git if you not already do so

yum install go
yum install git

2. You need to specify workspace directory, this can be any path in your system. For this example, i use the following directory as the workspace - /home/amd/go
3. Set the $GOPATH to this workspace directory

export GOPATH=/home/amd/go

4. Change directory to your workspace directory and run the following command to get the jobber files.

go get github.com/dshearer/jobber

5. As git supplied by CentOS 6 is version 1.7.1 and it cannot handle gopkg.in in package properly. If this is not down, you will encounter hang problem during compilation process. So you need to manually get the yaml.v2 package.

git clone --branch v2 https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml $GOPATH/src/gopkg.in/yaml.v2

6. Compile jobber package

make -C src/github.com/dshearer/jobber
