# pilosa Pilosa is a bitmap index database. ## Getting Started Pilosa uses the new Go 1.5 vendoring experiment. To enable this, you'll need to export an environment variable in your `.profile`: ```sh export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 ``` Then you can download the source by running `go get`: ```sh $ go get github.com/umbel/pilosa ``` Now you can install the `pilosa` binary: ```sh $ go install github.com/umbel/pilosa/... ``` Now run `pilosa` with the default configuration: ```sh pilosa ``` ## Development ### Updating dependencies To update dependencies, you'll need to install [godep][]: ```sh $ go get -u github.com/tools/godep ``` Then save the dependencies in your project: ```sh $ godep save ./... ``` *Make sure you have set the `GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT` environment variable!* [godep]: https://github.com/tools/godep
