<h4 id="tarball_non_standard">Installing to a custom location</h4>
<p>
The Go binary distributions assume they will be installed in
<code>/usr/local/go</code> (or <code>c:\Go</code> under Windows),
but it is possible to install the Go tools to a different location.
In this case you must set the <code>GOROOT</code> environment variable
to point to the directory in which it was installed.
</p>
<p>
For example, if you installed Go to your home directory you should add
commands like the following to <code>$HOME/.profile</code>:
</p>
<pre>
export GOROOT=$HOME/go1.X
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
</pre>
<p>
<b>Note</b>: <code>GOROOT</code> must be set only when installing to a custom
location.
