• For more examples, please go to the WasmEdge-go-examples repo. Contributing your own example is much appreciated.

Getting Started

The WasmEdge-go requires golang version >= 1.15. Please check your golang version before installation. Developers can download golang here.

$ go version
go version go1.16.5 linux/amd64

Developers must install the WasmEdge shared library with the same WasmEdge-go release version.

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/master/utils/install.sh | bash -s -- -v 0.8.2

For the developers need the TensorFlow or Image extension for WasmEdge-go, please install the WasmEdge with extensions:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/master/utils/install.sh | bash -s -- -e all -v 0.8.2

Noticed that the TensorFlow and Image extensions are only for the Linux platforms.

Install the WasmEdge-go package and build in your Go project directory:

$ go get github.com/second-state/WasmEdge-go/wasmedge@v0.8.2
$ go build
