Build

In most cases this is enough to build:

If you would like to build all supported platforms you can use the build.bat and build.sh from here build.bat, it expects a properly setup go environment and upx to be in the path.

Testing the Setup

You can always test if your setup is working by invocking the tool directly from the command line, to test if your nginx setup is working you would execute:

cacti-go-tools engine nginx

This should show something similar to this:

1
181
181
172
0
1
0

In case there is an error the tool will pass that error directly to the result, for http errors you will receive http/{http status code} Error Example: http/403 Forbidden
