scollector installation from source issue

Question

I've been following this link to install scollector on an AWS ec2 instance running HBase. The link asks to run this command: go get bosun.org/cmd/scollector to install from source. When I run it, I get the following output: Segmentation fault (core dumped). This obviously is very unhelpful, how do I set this right?

There's a linux binary in the above link that I probably could use to install scollector but I don't know how to install a linux binary(assuming I manage to upload the file to ec2). Can anyone help on that(if the first problem is not clear enough)?

Answer 1

In order to install scollector from source you need Go version >1.6 to build bosun.

Alternatively you can download binary file and place it somewhere, like /home/user/go/bin/ and don't forget to change permissions

chmod +x scollector-linux-amd64

check it

./scollector-linux-amd64 -version

you'll have version 0.6.0 if you compiled it from source
