Go Ethereum (as its name implies) is written in [Go](https://golang.org), and as such to build from source code you need to have a Go version as recent as possible. This guide does not go into details on how to install Go itself, for that please read the [Go installation instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install). |
||||
|
||||
Assuming you have Go installed, you can download our project via: |
||||
|
||||
```shell |
||||
go get -d github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The above command will checkout the default version of Go Ethereum into your local `GOPATH` work space, but it will not build any executables for you. To do that you can either build one specifically: |
||||
|
||||
go install github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth |
||||
|
||||
Or you can also build the entire project and install `geth` along with all developer tools by running `go install ./...` in the repository root inside your `GOPATH` work space. |
||||
|
||||
### Building without a Go workflow |
||||
|
||||
If you do not want to set up Go work spaces on your machine, only build `geth` and forget about the build process, you can clone our repository directly into a folder of your choosing and invoke `make`, which will configure everything for a temporary build and clean up after itself: |
||||
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.git |
||||
cd go-ethereum |
||||
make geth |
||||
|
||||
This will create a `geth` (or `geth.exe` on Windows) executable file in the `go-ethereum/build/bin` folder that you can move wherever you want to run from. The binary is standalone and doesn't require any additional files. |
