Install CUE from source

Prerequisites

Go 1.14 or higher (see below)

Installing CUE

To download and install the cue command line tool run

GO111MODULE=on go get cuelang.org/go/cmd/cue

Or, if you are using Go 1.16:

go install cuelang.org/go/cmd/cue@latest

And make sure the install directory is in your path.

To also download the API and documentation, run

go get cuelang.org/go/cue@latest

in a module context.

Installing Go

Download Go

You can install binaries for Windows, MacOS X, and Linux at https://golang.org/dl/. If you use a different OS you can install Go from source.

Install Go

Follow the instructions at https://golang.org/doc/install#install. Make sure the go binary is in your path. CUE uses Go modules, so there is no need to set up a GOPATH.
