Utility is written on Go, so basically it could be installed by: $ go install go.stargrave.org/glocate However you may have some issues with authenticity of go.stargrave.org HTTPS server, that uses ca.cypherpunks.ru CA. Look at SSL_CERT_FILE, GIT_SSL_CAINFO and GOPRIVATE environment variables. Or you can manually close its source code and build it up: $ git clone git://git.stargrave.org/glocate.git $ cd glocate $ go build glocate has two dependencies, that will be fetched by Go automatically.
