Building from source

If you want to build yourself pbkdf2Decode from source, please verify to have already installed go1.24.x or higher.

Then run this command:

go build -v -ldflags="-X 'github.com/cyberpsyquack/pbkdf2Decode/build.Version=$(cat VERSION)' -X 'github.com/cyberpsyquack/pbkdf2Decode/build.BuildUser=$(id -u -n)' -X 'github.com/cyberpsyquack/pbkdf2Decode/build.BuildTime=$(date)'"

Manual Installation

GNU/Linux

Remove any previous pbkdf2Decode installation by deleting the /usr/local/pbkdf2Decode folder (if it exists), then extract the archive you just downloaded into /usr/local, creating a fresh pbkdf2Decode tree in /usr/local/pbkdf2Decode

sudo tar -C /usr/local -zxf pbkdf2Decode-x86_64-linux.tar.gz

You can do this by adding the following line to your $HOME/.profile (or $HOME/.bashrc) or /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation)

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pbkdf2Decode/bin

Note: Changes made to a profile file may not apply until the next time you log into your computer. To apply the changes immediately, run the following command (may differ if you are using .profile instead of .bashrc):

source $HOME/.bashrc
