g2-sdk-go-base

Overview ¶

Synopsis ¶

The Senzing g2-sdk-go-base packages are wrappers over Senzing's C-based library.

Overview ¶

The Senzing g2-sdk-go-base packages enable Go programs to call Senzing library functions. Under the covers, Golang's CGO is used by the g2-sdk-go-base packages to make the calls to the Senzing functions.

Installing Senzing library ¶

Since the Senzing library is a pre-requisite, it must be installed first. This can be done by installing the Senzing package using apt, yum, or a technique using Docker containers. Once complete, the Senzing library will be installed in the /opt/senzing directory.

Using apt:

wget https://senzing-production-apt.s3.amazonaws.com/senzingrepo_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./senzingrepo_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install senzingapi

Using yum:

sudo yum install https://senzing-production-yum.s3.amazonaws.com/senzingrepo-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install senzingapi

Using Docker, build an installer:

curl -X GET \
    --output /tmp/senzing-versions-latest.sh \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/senzing-garage/knowledge-base/main/lists/senzing-versions-latest.sh
source /tmp/senzing-versions-latest.sh

sudo docker build \
    --build-arg SENZING_ACCEPT_EULA=I_ACCEPT_THE_SENZING_EULA \
    --build-arg SENZING_APT_INSTALL_PACKAGE=senzingapi=${SENZING_VERSION_SENZINGAPI_BUILD} \
    --build-arg SENZING_DATA_VERSION=${SENZING_VERSION_SENZINGDATA} \
    --no-cache \
    --tag senzing/installer:${SENZING_VERSION_SENZINGAPI} \
    https://github.com/senzing-garage/docker-installer.git#main

Using Docker, install Senzing:

sudo rm -rf /opt/senzing
sudo mkdir -p /opt/senzing

sudo docker run \
    --rm \
    --user 0 \
    --volume /opt/senzing:/opt/senzing \
    senzing/installer:${SENZING_VERSION_SENZINGAPI}
