Build
=====
2015-01-24 20:09:29 +02:00
Mist (GUI):
2014-10-27 18:22:29 +02:00
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist`
2015-03-26 23:48:24 +02:00
Geth (CLI):
2014-10-27 18:22:29 +02:00
2015-03-28 01:32:23 +02:00
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth`

As of POC-8, go-ethereum uses [Godep ](https://github.com/tools/godep ) to manage dependencies. Assuming you have [your environment all set up ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum ), switch to the go-ethereum repository root folder, and build/install the executable you need:
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
Mist (GUI):
```
godep go build -v ./cmd/mist
```
2015-03-26 23:48:24 +02:00
Geth (CLI):
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
```
2015-03-26 23:48:24 +02:00
godep go build -v ./cmd/geth
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
```
Instead of `build` , you can use `install` which will also install the resulting binary.

===========
2014-02-15 01:04:46 +02:00
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in
[the `cmd` directory ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/cmd ):
2014-11-18 21:23:17 +02:00
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser (ethereum GUI client)
2015-03-26 23:48:24 +02:00
* `geth` Ethereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client)
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
* `bootnode` runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests ](https://github.com/ethereum/testes ) suite:
2015-01-22 23:42:39 +02:00
`cat file | ethtest` .
2014-11-18 21:23:17 +02:00
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.
2015-01-30 15:41:14 +02:00
* `disasm` disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm`
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
* `rlpdump` converts a rlp stream to `interface{}` .

Both `mist` and `geth` can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
To get the options available:
2014-01-16 12:00:56 +02:00
```
2015-03-26 23:48:24 +02:00
geth -help

Contribution
============
2015-03-02 20:44:29 +02:00
If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
2014-02-15 01:04:46 +02:00
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
2014-08-21 16:27:01 +03:00
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
2014-02-15 12:49:39 +02:00
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.

For dependency management, we use [godep ](https://github.com/tools/godep ). After installing with `go get github.com/tools/godep` , run `godep restore` to ensure that changes to other repositories do not break the build. To update a dependency version (for example, to include a new upstream fix), run `go get -u <foo/bar>` then `godep update <foo/...>` . To track a new dependency, add it to the project as normal than run `godep save ./...` . Changes to the [Godeps folder ](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/Godeps ): should be manually verified then commited.
To make life easier try [git flow ](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ ) it sets this all up and streamlines your work flow.
