## Source them

source ~/.profile source ~/.bashrc

## Build deps

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential mercurial bison gcc libc6-dev ed make

## Check out the source

hg clone -r release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT

## Build the source

cd $GOROOT/src ; ./all.bash

## Get back

cd $cwd _Note: File attached with this post_ **Testing** $ cat >hello.go <<EOF package main import "fmt" func main() {
    
    
    fmt.Printf("Hello, GO!\n")
    

} EOF $ 6g hello.go $ 6l hello.6 $ ./6.out ` With ggcgo $ gccgo hello.go $ a.out ` _Note:_ 6g => amd64; 386 => 8 and arm => 5\. _Updating_ ` $ cd $GOROOT/src $ hg pull $ hg update release $ ./all.bash ` **Keep GOing :)**
