POC setting up

[Gowtham Ravipati]

Hello Community, 
Hope this was a great start of week for everyone..!

I have been having hard time, installing the GoCD server on my MAC, I am tying to install server on my MAC and use and EC2 instance as an agent and try to get them live on my dashboard and use them accordingly.
https://docs.gocd.org/current/installation/install/server/osx.html

./bin/go-server start
Unable to locate any of the following binaries:
  /Users/P3142304/Downloads/go-server-23.3.0/bin/../wrapper/wrapper-macosx-arm-64
  /Users/P3142304/Downloads/go-server-23.3.0/bin/../wrapper/wrapper-macosx-arm-32
  /Users/P3142304/Downloads/go-server-23.3.0/bin/../wrapper/wrapper

I also tried with sudo and installing with the go-server install command...
I was wondering if anyone else have faced this and see if I can get through this POC.

Thanks
Gowtham

Hiya Gowtham

It looks like you downloaded and are trying to run the x64 version on an Apple Silicon mac which will likely give errors like that. You probably want the aarch64 version from https://www.gocd.org/download/#osx

As a side note, the easiest way to POC GoCD locally is probably via the Test Drive experience at https://www.gocd.org/test-drive-gocd.html which downloads and runs both server and agent locally and includes some demo pipelines.

If you have a reason to specifically try with a separate agent running on EC2 rather than locally, you can run it manually like you are doing or connect it to the test drive server. Getting the agent to connect back to your locally running server will need you to use some tool to other tool expose it locally or make it accessible to the agent via something like cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8153, editing the servers "site URL" and "server site URL" to the Cloudflare temporary domain, and then changing the agent config to locate the server on the same URL.

Gotcha..!
I did visit the TestDrive one, I kinda got the Gist, but I was trying to set up the Server and Agent configuration and see if we would face any challenge with running the Pipelines on four different clusters with having connection to both Lower Gitlab and Upper Gitlab as we have separate instances for them respectively.
I might have to explore more on the TestDrive, When I tried to initiate a demo pipeline, it ran some Stages fine, one was stuck on finding agent, I was having hard time finding how to assign a new agent which could be an EC2. Anyway..! Will study more.

Thank you so much for the response.
