Templ: command not found

[lFourl]

Hi All,

I have recently deployed a Templ app onto an EC2 instance. It is currently working, but I need to add templ generate to my Dockerfile. However when I try to do a templ generate from the terminal, I am getting a command not found. I have tried to install templ into my app directory with no luck using go install github.com/a-h/templ/cmd/templ@latest and I am currently able to run templ generate locally, but I am not sure what I am missing. Any thoughts as to what I am missing or how Templ should properly be installed on an amazonlinux2 server?

I'm not really sure what your workflow is here. You're talking about both Docker and installing commands into an EC2 instance.

Generally, you'd use templ generate and commit the generated files into source control. Then, you build your app using CI/CD, and copy the resulting app into the Docker container. The templ binary isn't required at runtime.

Perhaps you could explain further, and provide examples?

This is extremely helpful and makes sense. I was imagining adding templ generate to my dockerfile and having it run during each build, but the workflow that you mentioned makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the help!
