Prerequisites

Before we start the installation, let's ensure we have the following prerequisites:

• A stable internet connection
• Manjaro Linux installed
• A terminal emulator

Step 1: Install Golang and Git

As Gatus is written in Go language, you need to install Golang and Git on your system. So, let's install them using the following command:

git version

Step 2: Clone Gatus Repository

Step 3: Build and Install Gatus

Move into the cloned directory and build Gatus using the following command:

cd gatus
go build

Once done, you can run the tool using the ./gatus command. However, it's better to install it in your systemwide PATH to run it from anywhere.
