## Binary Distribution Notes
|
||||
|
||||
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
|
||||
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
|
||||
directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the
|
||||
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
|
||||
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html).
|
||||
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
|
||||
to your shell's path.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
|
||||
put the following in your .profile:
|
||||
|
||||
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
|
||||
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
|
||||
|
||||
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
|
||||
Note that the Go project does not use GitHub pull requests, and that
|
||||
we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. See
|
||||
https://golang.org/wiki/Questions for a list of places to ask
|
||||
questions about the Go language.
