• 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

By default, the WasmEdge-go only turns on the basic runtime, and the Installation of WasmEdge Shared Library is required.

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

$ go get github.com/second-state/WasmEdge-go
$ go build

WasmEdge-go has the following extensions:

• Tensorflow
  • This extension supports the host functions in WasmEdge-tensorflow.
  • For turning on this extension, the Installation of WasmEdge-tensorflow Shared Library is required.
  • For using this extension, the tag tensorflow when building is required:

    $ go build -tags tensorflow

• Image
  • This extension supports the host functions in WasmEdge-image.
  • For turning on this extension, the Installation of WasmEdge-image Shared Library is required.
  • For using this extension, the tag image when building is required:

    $ go build -tags image

Users can also turn on the multiple extensions when building:

$ go build -tags image,tensorflow

For examples, please refer to the example repository.
