1 This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
3 For documentation about how to install and use Go,
4 visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
7 After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
8 doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060

16 Binary Distribution Notes
18 If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
19 the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
20 directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
21 variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
22 from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
23 You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
26 For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
27 put the following in your .profile:
29 export GOROOT=$HOME/go
30 export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
32 See doc/install.html for more details.
