Build
=====
Mist (GUI):
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist`
Geth (CLI):
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth`
As of POC-8, go-ethereum uses [Godep ](https://github.com/tools/godep ) to manage dependencies. Assuming you have [your environment all set up ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum ), switch to the go-ethereum repository root folder, and build/install the executable you need:
Mist (GUI):
```
godep go build -v ./cmd/mist
```
Geth (CLI):
```
godep go build -v ./cmd/geth
```
Instead of `build` , you can use `install` which will also install the resulting binary.
For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please see the [Wiki ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum )
If you intend to develop on go-ethereum, check the [Developers' Guide ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Developers'-Guide )

Executables
===========
Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in
[the `cmd` directory ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/cmd ):
* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser (ethereum GUI client)
* `geth` Ethereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client)
* `bootnode` runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests ](https://github.com/ethereum/testes ) suite:
`cat file | ethtest` .
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.
* `disasm` disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm`
* `rlpdump` converts a rlp stream to `interface{}` .
Command line options
============================
Both `mist` and `geth` can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.
To get the options available:
```
geth -help
```
For further details on options, see the [wiki ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options )
Contribution
============
If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.
See [Developers' Guide ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Developers'-Guide ) for more details on configuring your environment, testing, and dependency management.
