Requirements

• libvips 8.10+
• C compatible compiler such as gcc 4.6+ or clang 3.0+
• Go 1.20+

Dependencies for govips

MacOS

Use homebrew to install vips and pkg-config:

brew install vips pkg-config

Ubuntu

You need a recent libvips to work with govips. New govips functionality is continuously added which takes advantage of new libvips functionality. Groovy (20.10) and Hirsute (21.04) repositories have working versions. However on Focal (20.04), you need to install libvips and dependencies from a backports repository:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:strukturag/libde265
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:strukturag/libheif
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tonimelisma/ppa

Then:

sudo apt -y install libvips-dev

Windows

The recommended approach on Windows is to use Govips via WSL and Ubuntu.

If you need to run Govips natively on Windows, it's not difficult but will require some effort.

MacOS note

On MacOS, govips may not compile without first setting an environment variable:

export CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW="-Xpreprocessor"
