Benjamin Wang 39486c4289 update goreman installation command in local_cluster.md
`go install` is the recommended way to build and install packages in
module mode. `go get` should be used with the -d flag to adjust the
current module's dependencies without building packages, and use of
`go get` to build and install packages is deprecated. In a future
release, the -d flag will always be enabled.

Refer to https://go.dev/doc/go1.16.

# Set up local cluster
For testing and development deployments, the quickest and easiest way is to configure a local cluster. For a production deployment, refer to the [clustering][clustering] section.
## Local standalone cluster
### Starting a cluster
Run the following to deploy an etcd cluster as a standalone cluster:
```
$ ./etcd
...
```
If the `etcd` binary is not present in the current working directory, it might be located either at `$GOPATH/bin/etcd` or at `/usr/local/bin/etcd`. Run the command appropriately.
The running etcd member listens on `localhost:2379` for client requests.
### Interacting with the cluster
Use `etcdctl` to interact with the running cluster:
1. Store an example key-value pair in the cluster:
```
$ ./etcdctl put foo bar
OK
```
If OK is printed, storing key-value pair is successful.
2. Retrieve the value of `foo`:
```
$ ./etcdctl get foo
bar
```
If `bar` is returned, interaction with the etcd cluster is working as expected.
## Local multi-member cluster
### Starting a cluster
A `Procfile` at the base of the etcd git repository is provided to easily configure a local multi-member cluster. To start a multi-member cluster, navigate to the root of the etcd source tree and perform the following:
1. Install `goreman` to control Procfile-based applications:
```
$ go install github.com/mattn/goreman@latest
```
The installation will place executables in the $GOPATH/bin. If $GOPATH environment variable is not set, the tool will be installed into the $HOME/go/bin. Make sure that $PATH is set accordingly in your environment.
2. Start a cluster with `goreman` using etcd's stock Procfile:
```
$ goreman -f Procfile start
```
The members start running. They listen on `localhost:2379`, `localhost:22379`, and `localhost:32379` respectively for client requests.
### Interacting with the cluster
Use `etcdctl` to interact with the running cluster:
1. Print the list of members:
```
$ etcdctl --write-out=table --endpoints=localhost:2379 member list
```
The list of etcd members are displayed as follows:
```
+------------------+---------+--------+------------------------+------------------------+
| ID | STATUS | NAME | PEER ADDRS | CLIENT ADDRS |
+------------------+---------+--------+------------------------+------------------------+
| 8211f1d0f64f3269 | started | infra1 | http://127.0.0.1:2380 | http://127.0.0.1:2379 |
| 91bc3c398fb3c146 | started | infra2 | http://127.0.0.1:22380 | http://127.0.0.1:22379 |
| fd422379fda50e48 | started | infra3 | http://127.0.0.1:32380 | http://127.0.0.1:32379 |
+------------------+---------+--------+------------------------+------------------------+
```
2. Store an example key-value pair in the cluster:
```
$ etcdctl put foo bar
OK
```
If OK is printed, storing key-value pair is successful.
### Testing fault tolerance
To exercise etcd's fault tolerance, kill a member and attempt to retrieve the key.
1. Identify the process name of the member to be stopped.
The `Procfile` lists the properties of the multi-member cluster. For example, consider the member with the process name, `etcd2`.
2. Stop the member:
```
# kill etcd2
$ goreman run stop etcd2
```
3. Store a key:
```
$ etcdctl put key hello
OK
```
4. Retrieve the key that is stored in the previous step:
```
$ etcdctl get key
hello
```
5. Retrieve a key from the stopped member:
```
$ etcdctl --endpoints=localhost:22379 get key
```
The command should display an error caused by connection failure:
```
2017/06/18 23:07:35 grpc: Conn.resetTransport failed to create client transport: connection error: desc = "transport: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:22379: getsockopt: connection refused"; Reconnecting to "localhost:22379"
Error: grpc: timed out trying to connect
```
6. Restart the stopped member:
```
$ goreman run restart etcd2
```
7. Get the key from the restarted member:
```
$ etcdctl --endpoints=localhost:22379 get key
hello
```
Restarting the member re-establish the connection. `etcdctl` will now be able to retrieve the key successfully. To learn more about interacting with etcd, read [interacting with etcd section][interacting].
