Installing GoCD server on MacOS
-
Download the MacOS installer for GoCD Server from downloads page.
-
Unzip the installer in a directory of your choice. It creates a sub-directory with the name
go-server-${version}. -
Mark the directory as not quarantined by MacOS so that it allows the GoCD Server to be started:
# Assuming, for example, that the directory is "go-server-20.5.0". $ cd go-server-20.5.0 $ xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine . xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: './jre/Contents/Home/lib/server/classes.jsa' xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: './jre/Contents/Home/legal/jdk.dynalink/dynalink.md' ... # These "Permission denied" warnings can be ignored.
Managing the GoCD server process
The GoCD server script must be run with one of the following arguments:
| Script | Description |
|---|---|
./bin/go-server console |
The GoCD server will be started in the foreground |
./bin/go-server start |
The GoCD server will be started as a daemon in the background |
