Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Good distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Good binary directory$GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/good, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/good
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
