Getting Golang Ready

Please note, that this is a guide that assumes you're on OSX.

GVM

For details see https://github.com/moovweb/gvm

$ bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)

Installing Golang via GVM

First install basic Golang (before C compilers were removed).

$ gvm install go1.4 -B
$ gvm use go1.4
$ export GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$GOROOT
