| ## 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. |
