==== Requirements
===== Go
A minimum version of Go 1.22.0 is required for installing spruce.
Please go https://go.dev/dl/[here] to download the latest version.
===== Mage (Optional)
The project includes mage targets for building and installing the binary.
The main advantage of using mage over `go install` is that the build information is baked into the binary
during compilation. You can visit the https://magefile.org/[Mage website] for instructions on how to install Mage.
==== Install with mage
You can install Enbas with Mage using the following commands:
[source,console]

git clone https://github.com/dananglin/enbas.git
mage install

(preferably) change the install prefix to a directory that you have permission to write to using
the `ENBAS_INSTALL_PREFIX` environment variable. For example:
[source,console]
----
ENBAS_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/.local mage install
