Building from Source
This application cannot be go get
, because it does not come with a word list. If you want a binary, head over to the releases page on Github. The following instructions are available to those that want to build from source.
Get a copy of this repository, without compiling:
$ go get -d github.com/ripta/diceware
$ cd $GOPATH/github.com/ripta/diceware
Get and install go-bindata
, which is required to package the word list into the binary:
$ go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
Download the diceware word list, and use go-bindata
to generate a file named bindata.go
in this repository:
$ curl -sL -o data/diceware.asc 'http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.wordlist.asc'
$ curl -sL -o data/diceware8k.txt 'http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware8k.txt'
$ go-bindata data
Build the binary:
$ go build
And if $GOPATH/bin
is in your $PATH
, then diceware
should just work.
New Word Lists
All files ending in .txt
and .asc
inside data/
are available. A .txt
file is assumed to be a straight list of one word per line, while a .asc
file is assumed to be a tab-separated garbage\tword
with one entry on each line.
Place the file in data/
, name it correctly, rerun go-bindata
, and go build
. The new binary should show the new file under the list
command.
