## Building from source

To build Promtail on non-Linux platforms, use the following command:

```bash

$ go build ./cmd/promtail

```

On Linux, Promtail requires the systemd headers to be installed for

Journal support.

With Journal support on Ubuntu, run with the following commands:

```bash

$ sudo apt install -y libsystemd-dev

$ CGO_ENABLED=1 go build ./cmd/promtail

```

With Journal support on CentOS, run with the following commands:

```bash

$ sudo yum install -y systemd-devel

$ CGO_ENABLED=1 go build ./cmd/promtail

```

Otherwise, to build Promtail without Journal support, run `go build`

with CGO disabled:

```bash

$ CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./cmd/promtail

```
