First, you'll need Go. If you don't have it: [Download Go 1.5.2+](https://golang.org/dl/). **Go 1.6 is not yet supported.**
You'll need to add Go's bin directories to your `$PATH` environment variable e.g., by adding these lines to your `/etc/profile` (for a system-wide installation) or `$HOME/.profile`:

#### Prerequisite 2: Install gx and gx-go
You can try using package manager, but gx and gx-go are unlikely to be available in repositories currently. The recommended way to install is to run `make toolkit_upgrade` before running `make install` in the next step.
#### Download + Compile IPFS
Simply run:
go-ipfs differs from the vanilla `go get` flow: it uses
[gx](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx)/[gx-go](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx-go)
for dependency management. This means you'll need to perform download and
install steps separately.
First download `go-ipfs` without installing:
```
$ go get -d github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
```
If you don't already have them on your system, install `gx` and `gx-go`:
```sh
$ make toolkit_upgrade
```
Finally, install `go-ipfs`:
```
$ make install
```
NOTES:
#### Troubleshooting
* `git` is required in order for `go get` to fetch
all dependencies.
* `git` is required in order for `go get` to fetch all dependencies.
* Package managers often contain out-of-date `golang` packages.
Ensure that `go version` reports at least 1.5.2. See above for how to install go.
