Installing Nomad is simple. There are two approaches to installing Nomad:
-downloading a precompiled binary for your system, or installing from source.

Downloading a precompiled binary is easiest, and we provide downloads over
TLS along with SHA256 sums to verify the binary.

Copy the binary to anywhere on your system. If you intend to access it
from the command-line, make sure to place it somewhere on your `PATH`.

## Compiling from Source
To compile from source, you will need [Go](https://golang.org) installed and
configured properly (including a `GOPATH` environment variable set), as well
as a copy of [`git`](https://www.git-scm.com/) in your `PATH`.
- 1. Clone the Nomad repository into your `GOPATH`: `mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp && cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp && git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad.git && cd nomad`
+ 1. Clone the Nomad repository from GitHub into your `GOPATH`:
- 1. Run `make bootstrap`. This will download and compile libraries and tools needed
- to compile Nomad.
+ ```shell
+ $ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp && cd $!
+ $ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad.git
+ $ cd nomad
+ ```
- 1. Run `make dev`. This will build Nomad for your current system and put
- the binary in `./bin/` (relative to the git checkout). The `make dev`
- target is just a shortcut that builds `nomad` for only your local build
- environment (no cross-compiled targets). If you would like to
- cross-compile Nomad for different platforms, just run `make`.

- 1. Run `make install`. This will install `./bin/nomad` into
- `/usr/local/bin/nomad`.

-the command line, make sure it is on your `PATH` or you may get an error
