build and installation

For the indexer bleve to work properly it's recommended that you use leveldb as storage. Note that you need to install libleveldb as a dependency on your system

go get -u -v -tags leveldb  github.com/blevesearch/bleve/...

Gozim http server is using go.rice to embed html/css in the binary install the rice command

go get github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice
go get github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice/rice
go install github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice
go install github.com/GeertJohan/go.rice/rice

After build gozimhttpd command run to embed the files:

rice append --exec gozimhttpd

On Ubuntu/Debian youn need those packages to compile gozim.

apt-get install git liblzma-dev mercurial libleveldb-dev build-essential
