# Build SFTPGo from source
Install the package to your [\$GOPATH](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GOPATH "GOPATH") with the [go tool](https://golang.org/cmd/go/ "go command") from shell:
```bash
go get -u github.com/drakkan/sftpgo
```
Make sure [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) is installed on your machine and in your system's `PATH`.
The following build tags are available:
- `nogcs`, disable Google Cloud Storage backend, default enabled
- `nos3`, disable S3 Compabible Object Storage backends, default enabled
- `nobolt`, disable Bolt data provider, default enabled
- `nomysql`, disable MySQL data provider, default enabled
- `nopgsql`, disable PostgreSQL data provider, default enabled
- `nosqlite`, disable SQLite data provider, default enabled
- `noportable`, disable portable mode, default enabled
- `nometrics`, disable Prometheus metrics, default enabled
If no build tag is specified the build will include the default features.
The optional [SQLite driver](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 "go-sqlite3") is a `CGO` package and so it requires a `C` compiler at build time.
On Linux and macOS, a compiler is easy to install or already installed. On Windows, you need to download [MinGW-w64](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/) and build SFTPGo from its command prompt.
The compiler is a build time only dependency. It is not required at runtime.
Version info, such as git commit and build date, can be embedded setting the following string variables at build time:
- `github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.commit`
- `github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.date`
For example, you can build using the following command:
```bash
go build -i -tags nogcs,nos3,nosqlite -ldflags "-s -w -X github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.commit=`git describe --always --dirty` -X github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/version.date=`date -u +%FT%TZ`" -o sftpgo
```
You should get a version that includes git commit, build date and available features like this one:
```bash
$ ./sftpgo -v
SFTPGo 0.9.6-dev-b30614e-dirty-2020-06-19T11:04:56Z +metrics -gcs -s3 +bolt +mysql +pgsql -sqlite +portable
```
