Hello,

I downloaded the mender-artifact code with below command.

git clone https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-artifact.git

after setting up env and go build got below error:

go build github.com/mendersoftware/mender-artifact: no non-test Go files in /src/github.com/mendersoftware/mender-artifact

ManyThanks,
Pei

Use make if you want to build mender-artifact. The same goes for the mender client.

Go build is not enough because we add additional steps to the build process.

Thank you @kacf. I had to install lzma which was missing and make build did build the binary.
