# Super-short guide to getting q



Get the latest version (called `weekly`) of Go:

1. Get Go: `hg clone -u release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ go`
   Note the directory you have downloaded it to and set 
   $GOROOT to it: `export GOROOT=$PWD/go`.
   Add the GOROOT bin directory to your path: `PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin`

2. Update Go to the latest weekly: `cd $GOROOT; hg pull; hg update weekly`

3. Compile Go: `cd $GOROOT/src ; ./all.bash`

    Install missing commands (gcc, sed, bison, etc.) if needed.

The latest Go is now installed.
