### Install prebuilt packages
We use [gobuilder.me](https://gobuilder.me), a great service that automatically builds a release on every commit.
You can see the latest builds for your platform at these links:
- [`release` - the last released version](https://gobuilder.me/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs?branch=release) **<-- recommended**
- [`master` - development, stable](https://gobuilder.me/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs?branch=master)
We host prebuilt binaries over at our [distributions page](https://dist.ipfs.io#go-ipfs).
From there:
- Click "Download" on the build for your platform.
- Click the blue "Download go-ipfs" on the right side of the page.
- Open/extract the archive.
- Move `ipfs` to your path (`install.sh` can do it for you),

Tip:
If the `make install` hangs while fetching dependencies and if you are
running a daemon locally, ensure that it is on at least version 0.4.0-dev. If
you don't have a build that is new enough, run the `make install` with your
daemon turned off and the deps will be fetched through the ipfs.io gateways.
NOTES:
* `git` is required in order for `go get` to fetch
all dependencies.
* Package managers often contain out-of-date `golang` packages.
Compilation from source is recommended.
Ensure that `go version` reports at least 1.5.2. See above for how to install go.
* If you are interested in development, please install the development
dependencies as well.
* *WARNING: Older versions of OSX FUSE (for Mac OS X) can cause kernel panics when mounting!*
