To build and test Sia, you are going to need a\n working go environment, including having both $GOROOT/bin and $GOPATH/bin in\n-your $PATH. For most Linux distributions, go will be in the package manager.\n-Then it should be sufficient to run `make dependencies && make`. For more\n-information, check the [go documentation](http://golang.org/doc/install).\n-\n-If you plan on cross compiling Sia, you may need to install go from source. You\n-can find information on that [here](http://golang.org/doc/install/source).\n-\n-When you clone the Sia repository, make sure that you call `git clone` from the\n-folder `$GOPATH/src/github.com/NebulousLabs/`. It will not be sufficient to clone\n-Sia from the gopath. Alternatively, you should be able to call `go get -u\n-github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/...`.\n-\n-Golang does not like sym links, a problem which seems to have appeared\n-recently. If you are using a sym link, you can expect to see an error similar\n-to the one below:\n-\n+your $PATH. For most Linux distributions, go will be in the package manager,\n+though it may be an old version that is incompatible with Sia. Once you have a\n+working go environment, you are set to build the project. If you plan on cross\n+compiling Sia, you may need to install go from source. You can find information\n+on that [here](http://golang.org/doc/install/source).\n+\n+Sia has has a development build, an automated testing build, and a release\n+build. The release build is the only one that can synchronize to the full\n+network. To get the release build, it is usually sufficient to run\n+`go get -u github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/...`. This will pull all of the\n+necessary repositories off of github and place them in the correct folders\n+within the gopath.\n+\n+If you would like to build the project manually, you will need to clone the Sia\n+repository into the folder `$GOPATH/src/github.com/NebulousLabs/`. It will not\n+be sufficient to close Sia from the gopath. It also seems that more recent\n+versions of go do not like sym links. After cloning, you will need to run \n+`make dependencies`.","path":"doc/Developers.md","position":37,"original_position":37,"commit_id":"dcbae05e833ea937b4c601ee9ebf21bd150771a0","original_commit_id":"dcbae05e833ea937b4c601ee9ebf21bd150771a0","user":{"login":"lukechampine","id":3344749,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3344749?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine","html_url":"https://github.com/lukechampine","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lukechampine/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"body":"\"close\" -> \"clone\"?
