| This is the source code repository for the Go programming language. | |
| For documentation about how to install and use Go, | |
| visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser. | |
| After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted | |
| doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060 | |
| and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html. | |

| 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 README). 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.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 doc/install.html for more details. |
