<p>
The Go tool chain is written in C. To build it, you need a C compiler installed.
Please refer to the <a href="//golang.org/wiki/InstallFromSource#install-c-tools">InstallFromSource</a>
page on the Go community Wiki for operating system specific instructions.
The Go tool chain is written in Go. To build it, you need a Go compiler installed.
The scripts that do the initial build of the tools look for an existing Go tool
chain in <code>$HOME/go1.4</code>.
(This path may be overridden by setting the <code>GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP</code>
environment variable.)
</p>
<p>
Build the tools with Go version 1.4 or a point release (1.4.1, 1.4.2 etc.).
Go 1.4 binaries can be found at <a href="/dl/">the downloads page</a>.
</p>
<p>
Download the zip or tarball of Go 1.4 for your platform and extract it to
<code>$HOME/go1.4</code> (or your nominated <code>GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP</code>
location).
