Build from source

In order to build Loki manually, you need to clone the GitHub repo and then make Loki.

Prerequisites

  • Go 1.14 or later
  • Make
  • Docker (for updating protobuf files and yacc files)

Build manually on your local system

Clone Loki to $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/loki:

Bash 
git clone https://github.com/grafana/loki $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/loki

Then change into that directory and run make loki:

Bash 
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/loki
make loki

A file at ./cmd/loki/loki will be created and is the final built binary.
